Didn't sleep great last night, first time in a few days. But I took advantage of being up early to take my dog for a long early morning walk through the park. Definitely still feel my alcoholism wrestling for power inside me, so for now, I'm just concentrating on not drinking today. Will be very grateful if I can go to bed tonight saying I've been sober for a week. Hope everyone has a good day!

Congrats on a week Trish
don't engage with it - the fight is over...you and your desire for sobriety have won, and you're not going back, right?

Congrats on a week of sobriety, Tricia.

We'll stand with you against that alcoholic voice. It won't stand a chance.

Stay close.

Day 7 is done as I head to bed now. I kept busy this weekend, which helped, but I'm still very jumbled in the brain with the desire to be sober competing with my alcoholism's desire to drink. It flips continually. I know what's logical and best, and I'm grateful to have gotten through this week. I will just keep pushing forward, thankful for this forum and the knowledge that I will wake up tomorrow without a hangover, not filled with shame, embarrassment, and regret, remembering everything I did this weekend, and just possibly hopeful. Praying many others made it through this weekend, as well. Good night, all.
