Is this rediculous?
 

I just want to go home and go to bed right away and just avoid the whole evening. Is that a bad idea? I don't want to drink and I want as little temptation as possible.

I have done it several times. I call it "cutting the day off at the knees".

One day at a time and sometimes, I just shorten that day by hitting the sack early.

I always feel better the next day. Take it easy.

Works for me! :)

Better than drinking.

I don't know where you are or your history but if you want to leave then leave. Do whatever it takes to protect your sobriety.Put yourself first :)

In a word, "No!" If that's what you believe it's going to take for you to not drink tonight then where is the problem? You're after a certain result today and if shortening the day helps you achieve your goal then go for it. That said, I'm not advocating becoming a hermit.

Yeah Snakes i feel the same way. My nerves are so shot right now i just feel like i wanna go home and go to bed.

I hope that you find some peace.

I did this as well. I'd grab a book, hit the sack and wake up the next morning refreshed and glad I didn't drink. Go for it!!

I've totally done that too. :) Better than drinking!

I do this at least one night a week.

Thanks!! I feel normal! Yay!

I'm in my bed also, SR'ing on my Iphone and watching TV.
Had a totally absurd dinner, stuffed like a pig and not moving.

The day just sucked the life out of me it appears. LOL!

There's no harm in going to bed early if it keeps you sober. :) And the extra rest will do you good. :)

I've had one of those days today as well. No harm as long as you don't do it too many nights out of the week.

Well I made it through the day and am exhausted. I think it must be emotional exhaustion because I am tired of the mental anguish. The physical is bad but the mental is awful. Not drinking is a good feeling. I am just wiped out.

Good job, snakes. Sleep well!
