Hi everyone.
Today wad a very long day 5. I almost gave in. I'm a teacher and today wad my first day back after summer vacation. The beginning of the school year is always stressful, even though I love my job. Anyway, after school I got a call from my cousin and my grandfather had been taken to the ER. The doctors thought he had a stroke, but it turns out he has a large mass in the right side of his brain. They think it is. a tumor. He is 83 and I'mnot sure if he will make it. I really wanted a drink when I got home, but I resisted. I just don't know how I will deal with it if he dies so early in my recovery. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't. Post.

Sometimes we just have to try and churn them out one day at a time, be in the moment and disreguard the future .
Also, there is no situation you can't make worse by picking up a drink.

Prayers to whomever is listening for you both , M

I'm a teacher, too (not back yet). I'm thinking of you and sending strength.

Drinking will only make things worse! Stay stopped, stay strong, feel what you need to feel so it isn't stuffed inside.

You CAN get through this sober!

Love & hugs,
