Evening of day 5, Thursday can often be a trigger for me due to 'nearly weekend' thinking !!! But not tonight, tonight i am going to enjoy some of my favourite tv that i will remember, wake up fresh and energised and actually look forward to weekend sober. Im going shopping tomorrow after work and going to treat myself to a coffee and slice of cake while there, much more enjoyable way to start the weekend and to spend day 6.
Hope everyone is well

Well done Tinkerbeau. Everything was a trigger for me! I just want you to know that it wont feel like that forever ok? You are going to have plenty of times when you are crawling out of your skin for a drink because that is what your mind and your body is used to getting but you can get through those moments and It's the only way to break through. And you will come out the other side of it. I promise you!

Tinkerbeau

Thanks Snitch im determined to get through them, and the knowledge with time it will ease helps thank you

Thanks hawkeye.
well i enjoyed my shopping trip and my coffee and cake treat, jad a moment of thinking i was wasting money on it, then realised ot was of course alot less than alcohol but alot more enjoyable. Making some tea now then off to bed sober, looking forward to a hangover free sober saturday.

There is no better feeling than waking up hangover free 😀😀 I have never regretted NOT drinking.

Stay close this weekend. You can do this !

Tinkerbeau

Thanks snitch, yes i will come straight on here if i get any cravings. Well up early on day 7 hangover free and your right no better feeling. My plans for today are housework this morning, and bake some cakes, then i will visit my grandma, then parents and my dad has an appointment i will take him to. Tonight is movie night with my son and we will make homemade pizza and chips and dip. Then i will be going to bed sober to be up early tomorrow to go to church, something i have not done in a long long time but time feels right now.
hope everyone is ok
