Awful night's sleep, so feel worse than day 5.

However I woke up sober on a Saturday mornning and that is a major result.

Off to the gym now to see if that can blow away some of the cobwebs.

Got a party to go to this afternoon where there will be loads of booze flying around. For some people I know it wouldn't be the best idea to go. But right now I feel more than strong enough to cope.

If I feel challenged later on I may decide to drive there to remove the temptation. There is no way I would ever drink and drive, never have done ande never will.

Congrats on day 6

Please be careful this afternoon.I only speak from experience and with support. Often I had felt strong and then the crave suddenly hit me from nowhere. It was totally unexpected,powerful and I was unable to cope with it as had not built up proper coping skills for such eventuality. So I drank.

Maybe examine your motives for going to a party where drink is flying so early on in sobriety? Driving isn't a failsafe mechanism. I would just drink and leave the car.

Yes I'm playing devil's advocate and by no means am I saying you don't know your own mind. Please be wary of the cravings as they do suddenly appear out of nowhere

I get what you're saying and respect your help.


I think I'll be fine and taking the car *would* be a failsafe for me. I have never drank and drove, ever, not even one. It just would not happen.
