day 19 and really want to drink.
My neighbour locked the security door at my apartment block so I can't get to my apartment. He is refusing to open the door. I have 1 hour until I need to collect my children from school and there is nothing to do but go for a walk or go to the pub now. I am seriosly pissed off and just want to drink so badly. Only will power is stopping me at this point. He better open the ******* door by 4pm or I swear I will knock the door down and rip him a new one.
I have 7 hours worth of study due tomorrow and I cant even start on it so I am just wasting time.

Well I get to start the 1 and a half hour walk to get my kids from school as my transport pass is in my house. Then hope I get them home in time for my ex husband to get them. If I miss him, I have the kids all weekend when I have field work for university I have to go to or it is an automatic fail. Not the mention the 7 + hours of stuff I have to complete by tomorrow for University to stay top of my subjects so I can go into post grad.
I am beyond angry right now.
So angry at him

Sounds totally frustrating, Fishy.... Try to take some deep breaths and just focus on the "now".... It's OK to feel angry, but don't let it be a reason to drink. You'll be a lot angrier (with yourself) if you drink over this and then you won't get a thing done...
Be proud of yourself for staying sober through an emotional time. Things are going to be OK!

You have every right to feel anger and frustration right now. Feeling the feelings won't kill ya...but reacting foolishly might. Everytime I am overwhelmed by negative emotion..it's like a drink starts flashing in neon before my mind's eye. I imagine it will for awhile. It will fade in time I figure.
It's okay to be ticked off. It's a frustrating and anxiety inducing situation. What the heck would a drink do? Getcha all boozy to pick up your kids?

I didn't drink. I just walked for over 3 hours and now I am exhausted and my feet are on fire. Pain over alcohol I guess.
I got the police to come and open the door. The neighbour now has a record. Sucked in idiot.

Fishy, I hope your day went well yesterday! Stay strong. Everything we fight for to make our lives better is hard. And the harder it is, the better the outcome will be. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! You can do this!!!!
Well I just read the rest and see your day did go well! Great for you and keep up the good work!!!!!
