Hi Friends!
I won't say today was easy. There were more triggers with my family that made me think, "Gee, I should go get a bottle of wine and decompress." But I laid down and took a nap instead. I know I have to figure out other ways of dealing with the family stress, and I am working on it. I am on day 6 again. I am tied with my other record for days in September. My record this year is 27 days so my goal is to sail past 27 days this time around. I'm also seeing my therapist again in October, so I can talk to her about the stuff going on my with my family, my meds, and my alcohol intake over the past year.

I hope you are all doing well today...

" But I laid down and took a nap instead"

Awesome, whatever it takes
sounds like you are aware of the triggers.

Thank you all Tomorrow will be an easy one as I am going to be busy all day with the family. My motivation is high, I just need to stay strong against the triggers. I know they say hungry, angry, lonely and tired are some a few of them but for me, it's family stress that makes me want to decompress with a glass (bottle) of wine. One day at a time my friends!
