Monday will be here before you know it so hang in there. Maybe staying home and sticking close to the forum is your best bet!

I just read up on your thread, you have been tempted several times and you did not give in several times. That’s awesome and you should give yourself a pat on the back for it. It would have been so easy to do the wrong thing, in stead you did the opposite. The hard thing…but the best thing.

Keep going, keep stringing those sober days together!

I now have some self control left, all be it critically weakened....I have some, so this is a real plus and I'm using it to get back on the path to long term sobriety.
