Thinking of you TB. Just get through the day as best as you can. It really is such torture that us alcoholics inflict upon ourselves. That's the insanity part of alcoholism as no one in their right mind would do to themselves what we do to ourselves.
You can do this. Remember this isnt going to last forever. Every day you do not drink you will be getting better.
Happy birthday to your little boy x x

Glad you’re back Tink. As you go through the day think of all the amazing things about your son, and why you’re excited to celebrate his birthday tonight. Having something positive to focus on should make getting through there day easier.
I know you can stick with sobriety. You’ve got this!

Start of day 3, still feel rubbish but got bit more sleep last night. I'm off to work again but will be a shorter day, i work in education so have 6 weeks off for summer. This time though im looking forward to 6 weeks of looking after myself, spending quality time with my son, enjoying being out and about and really getting my head together !!! Not going to drink and mess up and waste it, like normal. I want to go back to work in September a brand new me.
tonights plan is to clean house, and have something nice to eat while catching up on tv and try to sleep. Small steps but in a good direction.

Day 3 already! They really do start adding up
My amends to my daughter is to continue being sober. I am sober for myself first and foremost and my daughter reaps the benefits. I am glad your son enjoyed his birthday.

Proud of you tink, I know how hard it is, we all do, little steps. It's good to have some kind of distraction whatever that may be. Focus and repeat the days add up quickly. You should feel proud that your on day 3, I know you've had a rough ole ride. So well done 😊 keep going and keep close.
Much love to you xx

Hey TB, I have a little girl who is close to your son’s age — she’s 9. I know we’re supposed to do this for ourselves first, but she is a big motivator for me. I’ve only been sober 6 months, and she already thinks of me as a nondrinker who “doesn’t like wine” like some of the other moms. 
Anyway, you are doing great so far; keep it up!
