WhiteFeathers

If anyone's on here... I might need a little cyber-help.

I am loving sobriety. My H drinks a LOT. There is a LOT of beer in the fridge. Wine too. I am looking at a bottle of Jameson. I am at home today hoping to get some housework done. I always liked to drink while cleaning because, let's face it, cleaning is horribly boring. I'm not worried about the Jameson and wine, but the cold beer is just sitting in the fridge...

Cravings! Big time!

I'm just looking for a bit of moral support.

Thanks! Lots of love! Xoxo

Nonsensical

Draw phony moustaches on all the bottles.

You can do this! Be strong!

Stay away - YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

If you can't get it out of your mind, can you dump it out?

WhiteFeathers

Thanks! I love this place.

I'm downloading self-help audiobooks . That should help me get through this.

You guys are the best! Have a great day.

WhiteFeathers

I'm putting the case of beer in the sun!

Maybe you should get out of the house for awhile today until those cravings subside? The housework isn't going anywhere so that can always be done later. Maybe take a walk or go to a coffee shop? Maybe put some healthy, yummy alternatives in your fridge to throw those cravings off? Also, what about asking your husband to get the alcohol out of the house for awhile?

Lol, awesome!

I like to have rockin' music when I do cleaning - cause I hate cleaning. Whatever music makes me wanna move.

Lightning Bug

Now that is a fantastic idea!

You said the word clean. Now I have to clean.
Fiddlesticks. I really wanted to sit around and watch the Zimmerman closings and eat Fritos.

ippochick

let your husband do the cleaning after he's cleared all the alcohol out. then tell him you don't want alcohol in the house.

then get him to mow the lawn, clean the car and tidy the garage. just to, you know, show him you mean business...

WhiteFeathers

I really HAVE to clean. Everything in my house is covered in dog hair (eew!). It puts me in such a bad mood, grrr.

The internet is super slow, I'm trying to download some drinking memoirs (those are always fun!).

Go for a long walk and pray.

You can do it!

WhiteFeathers

Ha! That won't fly too well. About the garage... here's one for the "you know you're an alcoholic thread."

You know you're an alcoholic when you turn the garage into a sports and cigar bar and you spend ALL your time there until you finally emerge late at night and pass out on the couch.

That's my husband!

Glad you're feeling grounded about it WF.

It's just a liquid - one that's toxic to the you want to be and the life you want to lead - let it bake out in the sun

WhiteFeathers

I totally made it through

Thanks for the support.

I'm taking my kids swimming now, which is something I would not be able to do drunk.

Notmyrealname

Seems like an awful long trip just to get rid of a case of beer

Whoo hoo Whitefeathers that is awesome! Good for you. Each time will make you stronger.

silentrun

Good for you Whitefeathers. The people on here with drinking spouses are amazing to me. It would be more than I could handle.

LadyinBC

I am amazed by them too. I don't know how successful I would have been if I would have had a partner and they were drinking in front of me.
