They are very religious and don't drink (also think my FIL had a problem way back), but I always did (in hiding) to get through their visits. Don't get me wrong, I love them, but they just get on my nerves sometimes, and it has always been easier to have a buzz while they are here. It is going to be a big trigger when they come over again (relapsed last time they did). Trying to hold their visits off until I have more time under my belt and am feeling stronger.
Anyway, sorry for the rant
Hope your weekend goes well. You can do it!

Hi Mamas!
Just checking in - I have so many posts to catch up too. Dolly, in three weeks time I moving 4 houses down from my in-laws. That's right - 4 houses! Haha. They're actually ok and tend to give us our space but I'm looking forward to have built-in baby sitters. Still, it's going to be an odd adjustment.
We're going to see my parents tomorrow and they don't drink so that always makes it easy for me. We'll spend the day at the beach club so the boys will be nice and worn out.
anewday, I'm glad you're going to see a doc. I'm going to make an appt. too. My anxiety is through the roof lately and I need to come up with a plan.
I hope everyone is great weekend

Good job dolly!
Well we arrived at out family beach house yesterday evening. And normally I unload all my mothers little helpers before I unpack the luggage. I was excited to have my first sober beach weekend!!! No other families would be arriving until Sunday so I was sure temptation would not exist.......WRONG.... Fridge was already packed as if the kappa deltas were staying with us. Normally I would be like yesssss... But yesterday I was like ughhh. Should I move it? I started to and then I was like I'm going to have to put it back anyway just deal with it!!!! So I dealt with it. I'm going to be around it for occasions like this forever. Better start learning how to do it sooner then later! Being strong.
I don't know how people who are so new in sobriety keep alcohol in their house regularly!!! I know I will get through this weekend sober but if this was the norm not sure I would stay sober forever. And forever is what I want

Yes...before I wouldn't get out if bed until my daughter threatened with a stick of dynamite:-). Now it's a clear head as I plan my day. It's great to be enjoying more of the weekend:-)
I know what you mean about the booze in the house...we now have beer and wine in the fridge because if the family visit. So far so good, but hoping temptation doesn't sneak in.
Enjoy your beach weekend!

It's 7:40 am here in Florida and my boys haven't made a peep yet! Unheard of in this house and I'm relishing in the quietness for the moment
Yes, Inperfectly, enjoy your vacation! Sounds delightful. We've always kept booze in this house so I've had to learn just to block it out. I would never never recommend it but it definitely can be down. And if you feel it calling to you head out for a walk on the beach - that is enough to clear the head. Enjoy!
Java, today is day 1 again! It's all part of the process. I blew my days yesterday by taking a friend's xanax. Just putting it behind me and starting again where I left off.
Dolly, enjoy your busy day - sounds like fun. And I'm envious, I serve my own family Ragu (sigh - must put learning to cook on my list).
Ladybug and anewpage, my own parents don't drink and I find it to be such a comfort now that I've quit. I plan visits to see them when I'm feeling really tempted because I know it won't even be possible around them. Plus, I use them as models of sobriety now - where before I used to sneak it around them.
mlc, how are you doing? I hope everyone else has a wonderful long weekend!
The house is still quiet! I almost don't know what to do with myself - lol. I'm sure they'll be stirring soon enough.
