The temptation is great this evening. It doesn't help that I have a headache, but I will push through. Tomorrow is one week. I can't remember the last time I went a whole week without booze. At least several years. This time last week, I was finishing up a 1.75 Liter of whiskey that I purchased Frinday night. If I was drinking today I would fall asleep drunk and wake up tomorrow feeling like *&^%. I keep telling myself how good it will feel tomorrow. Thanks agian for everyones support

When tomorrow comes, I start up agian for a record two weeks sober.

Your doing great...thanks for sharing. Don't take the first drink...think the drink thru i.e. the consequences...keep posting/reading and take it one day at a time. Have you tried AA for additional support in maintaining your sobriety?

Congratulations - and don't forget - you made it through your first full weekend too, right? Give yourself a pat on the back, buy yourself a nice dinner.... you're off to a good start!

I have thought about AA. My wife still drinks and doesn't know that I've come here. She also drinks everyday. The last three days about a six pack a night. She knows I haven't had a drink all week. I told her that I'm just tired. Too tired to keep doing this. I need a break from the alcohol. I didn't tell her I done forever because that's a promise (at this point) I'm not sure I could keep.

I need to get my head on straight and be sober for a while before we have a big discussion. I'm not bringing it up now because she's leaving out of state to visit her family. They all drink and she will be drinking all week. It will give me a week alone to stay on this board and stay sober.

Thanks everyone.

congratulations Edward
I think recovery journeys are very personal, individual things....I wish you well with yours
who knows maybe your wife will see the positive changes in you and give it a go too?
