nosedive day 3
 
Just couldn't do it. Had a few beers friday night. Then on Sunday blurred out with a 6 pack. I'm calling this day, day 4 (6-2=4).
Feel great though other than that. Should I be miserable?

Me too
 
I nose dived too. It is really hard on the weekends for me not to drink. We went to the cabin and the temptation is too much. I like big bottles of wine and drank a few of them over the weekend. I am very anxiety ridden today. I just can't sit still and I keep thinking, if I just have one glass of wine it will calm me down, but I know where that goes.

Should I be miserable?
Why? you made a choice to drink and you did.

:laughing:...The only sober time I count is my own.

Hope you are finding SR interesting...
I certainly do.

Blessings to you and your family

keep trying
 
Eclipse - I know about the wine weekend and the anxiety...I'm sorry you nose dived.
I like those big wine bottles too, you buy the big bottle cause you are only going to have a glass or two and then you can have the bottle for the whole week, only it's gone in the morning.....I only drank beer last weekend so I don't feel bad.
The worst is the BOX wine! It's cheap and you have no idea how much you are drinking.
Just keep trying to rack up sober days. Don't feel defeated. That's what I hated about the consecutive day thing....like you are supposed to go totally without drinking for 30 days etc. and then you go nuts one night and drink and it's like it was all for nothing. Well I say NO. Count your days sober and make them to be MORE than days you drink and be proud of those days. Feeling like a failure only makes you want to drink! Youre on this website and your trying....that's something.
I live out in the woods so if I can make it home without any wine I've got it made.
Don't give up !!!!!!!!!!!!
