It's the start of day #9. I think it's so cool. My sponsor gave me homework and it really helps. I'm learning about myself and what kind of person I want to be.
4PM to 7 PM seems to be the hardest time of day for me. I have been staying really busy. I washed mirrors and windows went shopping cleaned my kitchen office and bedroom. I'm so tired. Once 7PM comes I'm fine. No more desire for a drink just sleep.
I pray for all of us daily.
Diana DAY #9

Thanks, Diana, for the prayers; I pray for everyone also.

4-7's the worst time for me, too. I hadn't even realized that until I read this. Thanks for the post, now I know I can work on strategies for dealing with that specific time of day.

Thanks for brightening my day. I hope things only get better for you.
I pray for us all every day, too.

You Go Grandma! I try to keep myself busy also to "wear" myself out to be able to sleep, I usually sleep from about midnight to 6 am, seems my body doesn't require more. It feels good getting things done seeing the results, sober! Stay Strong and Well ! Bobby

Keep going Grandma!

It only gets better and good to hear you are keeping busy during the "rush hours"!

All the best,

Bruce.

The 4pm news just came on. I am off work in a half hour...have been struggling with my resolve for an hour now. I have an appointment after work which will get me through until about 6:30 but still need to drive right home after the appointment and not take a little detour to the liquor store. Feeling frustrated.

Yeh...low blood sugar, late in day....munch all afternoon to regulate sugar...chia seed helps too....diet is so important to sobriety....

I didn't make it past the liquor store. Crap. Sigh.......

The thread title reminded me of the quote attributed to Churchill: "If you're going through hell, keep going."
