Hi sr. I am here checking in. The middle of day 2. slept ok last night, but my rugrats slept with me and i was a virtual punching bag for half the night. (they are very "active" sleepers) we got our day going, took them out for lunch, school starts tomorrow, came home and i took a nap. (suprsingly they listened to me when i asked them to keep it down) now i have to get ready to go into work for a little while and i am dreading it. Tuesday nights have always been a wine night for me, the night i looked forward to the most. it honestly just popped into my head as i was reading other posts. so please, send me some encouraging words. I will keep journaling and today i will do whatever i have to do to not drink. (just lend me some strength for the night) thanks all!

Hey chard, you can do his. Think about your sobriety, how could pull feel whe you wake up... Do what you have to do to work, the go home and have an ice cream sundae or something you like!

Old habits die hard but my new rituals are really much more relaxing than drinking was!

thanks all, i am sitting here going through a box of jewelry that my mother had asked my grandmother to give me when I was an adult. well now, i am 35 and mother has been dead for 31 years, and my grandma is living, actually slowly dying from liver cancer. Trying to untangle these necklaces shall be a chore in itself! im feeling much better, as the cravings have passed for right now. i will keep you posted

Good the urge has passed. I find it usually does....just a matter of doing something else, or riding it out. Keep posting.

One day at a a time, thats all we have! Sobriety can be won sometimes one moment at a time, I heard that drinking water helps the urges pass sooner, making phone calls to sober people, praying, and sometimes everything! God bless and stay strong!!!!!
