Sobernunn accountability thread

Day 1 again. I'm starting this thread as a place for me to post and keep myself accountable. The Easter holidays are going to be hard for me. Thanks everyone for your ongoing support.

My sister-in-law holds easter dinner at her house every year. Big drinking event for her family. (not me of course). Any event is an excuse for them to drink.

SN- hello. Remember HALTS. Easter is going to be an alone, sadness, family not wanting me 9for 2 years now0 one. I will be doing meetings- even tho I do not want to. I will be remembering HALTS- even thogu it is B/S (at the time), I will be journaling- even though it brings no instant relief. I will be posting here- pissing and moaning about how much harder MY life is compared to everyone else's and just like now- by the end of the post, I begin to feel just a little better.
Empathy, compassion and support to you. KEEP POSTING.

I am just starting again too, SoberNunn. Day 2 for me. I started posting daily in the April thread to gain some accountability for myself too. This thread is a good idea .

SoberNunn, glad that you're back and working on recovery. What can you do/plan to make sure you get through this long weekend?

SN it will be hard/sad for me too. My son leaves today until Tuesday with his Dad. Easter means nothing to me without him. Even though he is 15. I'm going to try to keep as busy as I can and avoid temptations and resist the urges. I'll follow your accountability thread. I should start my own sometime. Good idea.

Sunshine. I'm sorry you will be without your son this Easter. That must be really difficult. You can post on this thread too. We can keep each other accountable

It's called your AV

Good day = drink to celebrate
Bad day = drink to commiserate
Boring day = drink to liven life up
Holidays = drink because you deserve it

Etc...

You know that right?

yes of course, it's just of all the "holidays" from my own life experience, Easter was never really one of those that had lots of drinking involved. St Patty's Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Memorial Day.....sure. It was really said more tongue in cheek................

actually, ironically, i first sobered up on Easter Sunday, 4-19-87. so there you go!
