Was on day 7 sober and as going strong but it all fell apart this afternoon. Had been fighting bad with my wife since yesterday evening and today she left the house after a full day of fighting. None of it is drinking related but the non-stop fighting for nearly 24 hours put me over the edge and I caved. Polished a bottle of red and am sipping on a glass from second. I really fought it hard but couldn't keep it up. I resisted all temptations all week but this was too much. Ugghh! Day 1 starts again tomorrow.

Tomorrow is another day to start over!! . . . get some sleep tonight and go at it again!!

Mighty - I'm sorry you fought & picked up again. At some point I realized that pouring alcohol on a situation like that doesn't do a thing to help. Took me a while though. You can get right back on track - now you'll be even more determined.

Just start again tomorrow xxxx

I'm sorry you had a bad day MightyFlea.

Remember we're here - 24/7 - I know it's hard when all you want to do is escape but why not try posting to us before you drink?

I agree with posting here before you drink. Maybe could help you stay sober.

I'm glad you took the time to post, next time try posting before you pick up the bottle! Do you know what's wrong between you and your wife?

How about dumping the rest of that second bottle and staying around here?

If you have a moment try to write down why exactly you opened that bottle of wine. Was it the fighting? Was it the inability to communicate? Was it frustration? When my emotions start getting the best of me I try to figure out why and try to get to the root cause. I realize that when dealing with other people it can be very complex. It's helped me anyway but I'm kind of self analytical. I hope you can find peace and can tell that bottle of wine it's not the solution.

Take care and be well.

Thanks everyone. Support on here is great as always. I should've come here first and posted and vented. Was just tough because that bottle was so alluring and I knew it would help me escape. Sadly I also knew it would only be temporary and I would still wake up with the same issues plus one more - hangover. It's just tough when the issues and fights are with the wife. I use to feel there's nowhere to turn to but the bottle but now I know I have support here. Thanks again everyone.

Today is a new day mighty! Try writing down how you are feeling and why and then you can go back to it later when the forgets hit you.

You can do this mighty! Stay strong!!
