ugh fighting through again.....

Its almost over but I've been struggling for about 30 mins now. This bitter cold weather is keeping me from going to the store. Just being honest. Its the only time I'm going to be thankful its 7 degrees out. Reading posts is helping! Tea...puffing on fake cig. Going to make a new plan for tomorrow night. Onto Day 8

You can do it. Think of why you came, and just keep reading your screen name over and over and over and over......

Stay focused, BeBetter. You can do this. Each day makes you stronger.

If necessary, after the kids go to bed, you go too; pull the covers up, snuggle in and ride out the storm in your dreams.

Congrats on Day 8!! You can get thru this.

I agree with SoberLeigh, go to bed after the kids go to bed. I have been doing that, and find that it is helping.

Hang in there! I agree with the other posts, head to bed when the kids do. Warm in the bed is where it is at tonight!

I will share, I will go to bed very early tonight, winter makes me stir crazy and we all know what I used to do to spend that time. Hibernating my way through is much better

Spring isn't very far away really.

Love your screen name, and I feel the same. This is my 7th day after a relapse over the holidays. Would kill for a drink, but its too cold and miserable. There is actually beer in my fridge (for hubby) but I decided to stuff myself with food really quickly. that usually helps the craving go away - once I know that I'm not going to get a buzz because I'm too full, it seems not worth trying. And my kids are also in bed, so planning to go to my own and read and hibernate. At least I'll be well rested tomorrow.
