Day 18
Day 18
Hi folks just checking in
Been 18 days since my last wobble almost a month...
Last night was bad, a real mind fxxk or battle
Everything was fine then my partner went to bed as he was done in,
Suddenly i felt like i had been abandoned , even though he was only up stairs i know this is from my BPD and i felt waves of dread and felt on edge...then the drinking voice kicked in, i checked the time it was 10.30 pm uk time...
The voice said if your quick you can call the cab firm who knows you to get some drink....
Then it went but there's no cash, hold on check the car money be in there..
I didn't pick the keys up i ignored these thoughts
Then more came...quick get a taxi the pubs are still open, then i thought no point i wont be able to buy any bottles and bring them home too expensive
I chained smoked yes still struggling here...
This went on and on for 40minuets it was exhausting and very frightening
I thought of my son and the 17 days sober and dragged myself to the shower
I felt somewhat better
I took my bpd medication, watched some only fools and horses and then crashed about 3am
But jeeze it was tough but i managed it....im dreading the next battle...lets hope i get through it again
Heres to day 18 I've done all the housework, prepared the chicken for dinner, son is happy on bioshock
Sorry to waffle on

hi Charlotte (if I may use your name)
Firstly, well done on getting through. It wouldn't be much of an addiction if it didn't cause 'wobbles' from time to time. I remember my wife going abroad for a week, I was 2 months sober at the time and I was having a constant argument with my AV the whole time she was away. It started when I dropped her off at the airport and by the end of the week I was climbing the walls. It wasn't important to me how I got through, just that I did.
Give yourself a pat on the back and remember this is all doable

when you are finished doing all of the things - you have quite a busy and full schedule - that fulfill your day, do your best to not think about drinking when your day is over and you are winding down.
