She doesn't get out of control like I did, and I know drinking or not drinking is a decision she has to make for herself. Its just hard to see her with 3 or 4 drinks when I am having cravings. I guess I probably need to change up my routine and find other things to do in the evenings. Anyway, thanks for all of the support, I needed it badly tonight.

Changing your routine will probably help. Those hours after work were always my toughest time of the day. I used to pass them getting light-headed on wine. Now I spend them at the gym.

Hate to say it, but you might want to avoid hanging w/ the sister in the evening for a while. I am at 4 months and I wouldn't want that temptation around me every day.

What kind of drink do you want?.. Do you want a beer or vodka?

im sorry your day was stressful. But if you break your sobriety you're gonna feel even more down on yourself for having to start all over from day 1 again
