Day 2

Now on my second day and my father in law dies, which is a huge bummer. This only strengthens my resolve.

I'm sorry for your loss. But stick to your desire for sobriety. There is nothing in life that we cannot face sober. If you need support or help in managing through this, keep posting on here. We'll be here to support you

SO sorry for your loss, but facing is drunk will not make things any better. This is something you need to go through sober. You need to deal with the feelings now, instead of later.

Welcome, Iam -

Sorry to hear about your loss. Emotions can be a challenge in early sobriety. I think you'll be really glad to be sober during this time, though. After I stopped drinking, I felt calmer and more connected with my family and friends (waking up without a hangover is pretty good, too!).

Hang in there....

Thanks everyone. I didn't drink last nigh and getting ready to fly out for the funeral this morning. At least being in a different environment will probably make it easier to not drink. Of course, I'm looking for the silver lining in something that is a less than optimal situation. My wife is very upset, obviously. At least I can be there for her (sober).
