Day 5 and I still vow to come here before I drink. Im a bundle of nerves today and everything is a trigger. I've been romanticizing (sp?) drinking a lot, even though I know alcohol cant give me anything I need. Staying in the moment seems to take a lot of work.
I will not pick up today.

Congratulations DancingGirl on your three days!! Keep it up, one day at a time. As to your kids and going to meetings, I've been to meetings where people brought their kids. Or take Taz's suggestion and call someone to see if there is a provision for kid-watching to allow you to go to meetings. You can do it!

It is impossible to relive my past. I can only create a good past now by living this day the best way I can, so that tomorrow I can look back without having to say "It might have been."
Rock on.

Having a very hard day today. Day Five. Have had to have a bizarre discussion with someone about why I'm not able to date them. Don't need this right now. Plus, I'd told him today that I'm an alcoholic and need to focus on not dying. Yet he's pushing for a furtherance of our friendship. Argh. Going to a meeting tonight. "It" is in my brain.

Just a quick check in and letting you all know I'm still sober, on Day 4. Sick and having detox symptoms, But I'm OK.
Pup Mum, if you are reading this, I don't think Dee meant any harm or meanness to ya! We've all been where you are at. Some of us (myself included) need some tough love and brutal truth to really get the message. I think that's what she was getting at.
We all want you to succeed.

We're all good as far as I know.
and I certainly never want to drive anyone away - that'd be kinda pointless
I severely doubt I have that power anyhow LOL
hope PM gets back here soon.

Yeah, my addict-brain is screwed up!!! I swear, that bugger will turn a sunny day into a warning of dehydration approaching and try to talk me into drinking!! I'm starting to read back what I've written even a few days ago and seen the ridiculousness of it. I'm getting a better grasp that the baby-sitting thing WILL work out...as long as I don't drink.
Man.....stupid brain....
