Day 5!

Wow, what a day! Had some pretty scary moments. Kept thinking about sneaking some wine after work. Plotting a trip to the store and just throwing in the towel. The thoughts were obsessive. And I kept trying to talk my conscience out of it, and it worked. I went home after work and then went to a meeting. Felt so much better after the meeting. Thankfully

Melatonin is kicking in, so I'm gonna sign off, thank you to you all for being here any time of day or night!!!!

Good job pushing those thoughts out of your head and gong to a meeting.
Just remember, you never have to drink again one day at a time.

OTRP,

A few weeks in I remember thinking - Am I ever going to stop thinking about drinking... and then it started getting better. Now I go for hours and sometimes I day without thinking about it. Hang in there and stay dedicated. Don't let your mind start thinking about a plan to drink - try to stop it ASAP.

Stay close.
