I made it to 24 hours. I’m having some cravings and I’m going somewhere, where it’s alot cheaper, they have stores and shit. and, I have to not buy it I know. it’s hard when it’s drunk by people you live with every night. so, I hope I can make it without drinking.

Is there anyway to avoid going to places like that with triggers? Either way good luck and stay strong. Remember you arent alone and this app is always here for you!
Hi, thought I’d give you a good on ya for trying to stay sober, even though people you live with drink. That is very difficult, almost like the deck is stacked against you. My husband drinks, it’s always available in the house and I have had a hell of a time keeping away from the stuff!
I realized a long time ago I can’t just white knuckle it through each day, I have to focus on me, and my physical and emotional well being. When you are triggered, remember:

How is Day 2 going?
I have always had this experience in my life as well. It seems far away to me at the moment, as I am trying my hand at sobriety again…but a little bit of hope is, I had 10 years of sobriety and always lived with and was around people who drank. I found the early days were difficult for me, but at the end of the day the decision was and is mine. Either people drank in a problematic way and it reflected what I didnt want or they could drink like a normal person and I knew I could not do that. I know it is tough though, as it is for me right now also. Wishing us both another 24!!
