It’s when my mind is getting tired and I start getting lazy incoming thoughts. Keep me accountable please?
Hello
Maybe focus and look forward to making your favourite meal for dinner ?
It helped me to make a new evening routine that was full of lots of little things i enjoy so i look forward to the evening and they kept me busy but dont require to much hard work either.
Take one day at a time and you got this
Late, but that was a big challenge for me. If I could get to after dinner then it was ‘too late’ to get ‘properly’ drunk. Plus husband would be at home. I would try to delay with mints, playing with apps, different teas, aromatherapy, to try to survive until the danger time had passed.
Welcome Sia
Ah same! It’s Friday and I want to celebrate some wins and mourn some losses this week. But no! Let’s stay strong and find a better way to cheers the weekend!
I tried to schedule a sobriety meeting coring those “witching” hours. Like @Misokatsu mentioned, if I could make it to 7, I was good. Replace when you would normally drink with another activity that promotes sobriety. Eventually it will become a habit. Rooting for you!
Was it always 4pm?
I used to always hold out till 5pm till my first drink…
Then it went to 4pm, then 3pm, then 2pm
You need to do something about it now
Get to a meeting is my advice
Welcome! Coming here was a great idea. So many threads to read…fun ones, serious ones. Lota of good reading
Welcome Sia.
Have a good read around here. That should keep you busy. This place has been a great place for me to get support in my sobriety. Addiction is too tough to go it alone. We are stronger in numbers. And we are all worth it.
Here are two good threads to start:
Yep it’s been that way for years on and off. I went from heavy emotional binge wineing to only two beers four days a week with less triggers and tricked myself thinking I could handle it but then came the sudden binge session if I was triggered emotionally and my husband could tell! After five! He seems to not want to stop either but he doesn’t have a problem I do as far as I’m concerned. He can do him and I’ll do me. Any groups other than AA?
Yep lots of options
