Tired and feeling mentally weak

I plan to go to an AA meeting tonight. I値l be honest when I say I would rather drink tonight. I知 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痴 my plan for the day. I just can稚/won稚 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.

Thank you both for your encouragement. I fought the urge to buy alcohol at lunch for after work consumption. I知 safe for a few hours then I値l have to work hard on maintaining sobriety. I知 good when at work because I know I dont have a choice in not drinking.

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.

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!
