You are so right, sober is a very peaceful way to live.

I had about 3 oz of wine tonight and poured out 3 oz. I was glad. I feel a pressure when I say I won’t. So I’m not going to say I won’t. But I will face another day encouraged.

Welcome back. I'm only on day 3 and struggling too. I can't have alcohol on the house. It's just too tempting. I had 5 days last week and drank as it was there. If it hadn't been there I'd have had more time to really think and maybe not pick up.

SR is a place you can always come back to no matter what situation or condition you are in. It is a place of unconditional love and acceptance. We will always be here for you. Let us be your beacon in a storm. Love to you, OGS. Great move on pouring out the wine. You know what you need to do so now just do it!

How about changing "I won't" to "I don't"?

Not going to show you out - you know what needs to happen, & I believe you will be successful.

that 'pressure' sounds like addictive voice to me.

Give no quarter to the AV. No aid.

Any rationalisation that makes it possible for you to drink needs to be challenged.

Yeah I know it's hard, I know the inner addict can bring out the brat in us and and I know that your AV will throw a tantrum - but you can get through it

Saying I don't instead of I won;t sounds to be a very sensivble way to neat this inner voice problem

Yes, that’s the voice. And it says so many things...”you haven’t been getting drunk so what’s the problem?” Tomorrow will be my “I don’t”. Can I have another 24 hours chip?
