Afternoon
For whatever reason(s) I find this time of day, 3ish pm where I am, is when the AV is strongest.
Im reminding myself as I head into this next weekend of all the awfulness that drinking brings and of all the greatness sober focused days bring.
Trying to come and read/post when i get those feelings.

My AV is strong at that time too, Mandy. I find though, that it gets quieter and quieter the closer I get to bedtime. Eating something usually helps too. Posting is a great fixer for cravings. Hang in there.

Thanks everyone 
it's always good to be reminded that it gets easier. I was thinking about what is happening around that time of day...my husband is getting home from work, my kids home from school. It's often chaotic. Sometimes we go out and run errands, sometimes I bought alcohol.
I think some things I might try are doing some mindful meditation before everyone enters the house, drink a large glass of water and have a sweet treat I'm likely craving at that time lol, once everyone gets settled sit and do some of my crochet projects, play a video game with kids, read/post SR, put on my pyjamas early and make tea, take a different route to run errands, take a 30 min brisk walk.
I'm feeling determined. I don't want to take any steps backwards so I'm trying to be mindful of the negative feelings.
