It's been a hard week
It's been an emotionally draining week, and it appears to be continuing into the weekend. My AV is screaming pretty loudly, which is rather unusual for me. I just feel like I am almost at my breaking point.

Sorry to hear you had a rough week. Please don't make things worse by drinking...it's just your AV.
Give yourself a fighting chance to keep up with the weekend, break it down into chunks if you need to. As bad as it seems, it pales in comparison as to the shame, guilt and pain you'll feel if you drink.

Don't give in. It will only make you feel worse.

Thank you for your words of support, it means a lot. Feel a little better at the moment, getting ready to go to bed, and feeling relieved that I didn't drink. I never want to go back to that dark place, and 99% of the time I have no desire to even taste the crap. But, once again I am reminded that the opportunistic beast is very cunning and just waits for a weak moment. I get very angry with myself in retrospect on those rare occasions that I even allow myself to entertain the thought of drinking.
Yes, I have an active weekend planned doing a little redecorating, which I really enjoy, and maybe some outside spring planting. I think that will help, and the weather is supposed to be nice. That always helps.
