Tired and feeling mentally weak I plan to go to an AA meeting tonight. I’ll be honest when I say I would rather drink tonight. I’m not going to, but the desire is there. So I will go home when I get off work and take the pups for a much needed walk before going to a meeting. When I get home I will cook dinner and get some cleaning done. Perhaps take the pups on a 2nd walk. That’s my plan for the day. I just can’t/won’t drink today. |
Good Morning and good job recognizing what you need to do. Setting a plan for your day will help you get through it, I have to do the same thing. I can understand WANTING to drink, I still struggle with wanting to, especially over the weekends. I miss the feeling of being drunk, I don't miss the hangovers and realizations of what I did while drunk. One day at a time, you can do this. Holding yourself accountable and being honest with yourself obviously helps. |
Hang in there, Sinderos. It gets better. |
Thank you both for your encouragement. I fought the urge to buy alcohol at lunch for after work consumption. I’m safe for a few hours then I’ll have to work hard on maintaining sobriety. I’m good when at work because I know I dont have a choice in not drinking. |

You're doing great, Sinderos! |
I’m feeling the same way. It’s stupid how hard this is. I am tired too. Good job reaching out to get encouragement. This isn’t fun. |
How are you going Sinderos? :) D |
Here's hoping you each were able to stay strong. Early sobriety is tough, but totally worth it to get out of the fog , mood swings and no energy life that comes with drinking. No regrets! |
