It has been a tough day.... i have been trying to keep busy with the housework, but I feel my tolerance level is zero. when it comes to dealing with my darling daughter, hubby or just any little annoyance.

I am glad for day 32, but my biggest challenge is coming up. On the 17th, I have to go to a week long work conference and after classes, it is always a booze fest...

One day at a time... I know... it has just been one of those days.....

Make sure when you're taking care of baby and hubby, you take even better care of YOU!

Glad you are here.

Welcome and well done on making it thru a bad day

How about a bubble bath with soothing music ..scented candle ?
That always relaxes me....

By the time for your trip...you will be stronger

Blessings to you and your family

Congrats on day 32! There are a lot of challenges in our lives aren't there? Glad you have been able to stay sober through them.

When it gets closer to the 17th, or whenever you want, start a thread about what to do for your week away. You will get a lot of suggestions and support.

Miamai, I had 2 of those days, yesterday and day before. I am on Day 40 and was just fine until the last 2 days. Hit me like a ton of bricks. I also have DD, and dogs and cats and an x i live with. I get it!

Anyway today I woke up and nothing has changed but I feel so much better. Just get through it cause it will pass. No cravings today.

Good luck at conference

Mai Welcome and way to go on all that sober time!! You have lots of support here.

I too felt very irritable (for no specific reason) at my husband for the first few months. I didn't want to drink but I was a bit of a ticking time bomb. Working recovery each day of course but I still had moments where I felt I was going to snap.

Somewheres along this line.....it stopped. I am no longer irritable. I actually had something happen last night that would have been a trigger in the past. I didn't even get upset to be honest. I said to myself....yeah ok...no big deal.

It does get better and for me it things improved gradually in every area of my life.

Keep it going.....sobriety is a journey. This too shall pass.

Congrats on day 32. Be grateful for what you have. I am on day 12, I'm working the steps and have spirituality in my life so things are great now but not all the time. I go through ups and downs, especially towards the end of the day. Tomorrow is a New day
