Finding tonight soooooooo hard :(

have got through the day without a drink, although have spent time thinking about a drink, but now its this time of night, i feel lost without that glass in hand. Have kept myself so busy with the kiddies, and my hubby is here this week so it makes it easier for me to stay strong, but he is on nights next week and at this time of the night when the kids are in bed, i am so worried i will slip back into the rotinue, and will feel like a total failure, stomach feeling better since this morning and appetite starting to return, although small portions, i know i want to do this so so much, just not sure i can

You can. But it will be difficult, especially if you are attempting this on your own without a recovery plan in place.

Having a glass in your hand isn't a routine. Not two bottles of wine a night. This is a battle against an addiction, not a habit. But it can be won.

Stay logged into SR, we'll help. But you should give some thought to a form of face-to-face support.

I agree with the above posters. Last night I wanted a drink SOOOOOO bad. The thought of having one would not leave my head. I ended up posting on the board... which allowed me just enough time to escape the insanity without a drink and head to bed early ! Keep posting and stay strong

You can do this, we all can. Day 2 is kicking me in the guts. But I had food, and now herbal tea. Grrr!

Is this what you want to go back to?

Normally, its not noticeable when i am drinking as being a heavy drinker its easy to hide the habbit from those close, bottles stashed in different places etc, it makes me feel so devious, and i have some how found the need and courage to face up to my problem and kick the habbit.

I have switched to tea or hot chocolate at night, both decaf so I am not up with my mind wandering! I needed something to replace the glass in my hand.

Patman, glad you are back!!!

I wanted a drink of wine so badly today that I literally begged my boyfriend to bring one home. He save me by reminding me why I have to stay sober. You can always come here, but face to face support helps with the loneliness. Or, at minimum, phone to phone support.

Stay strong. We have your back.
