Congrats on 24hours. Thats an awesome building block. Take it one day at a time rn. Even 1 hour at a time. 1 min at a time. Whatever it takes to lay your head on your pillow sober tonight

No i havnt really thought that far ahead. Just focusing on not drinking is hard enough atm. U have any advice?
Just laying in bed, 640am here in Western Australia and was thinking bout what u said n ive just counted 14 different bottle shops/ pubs within a 10 min drive of my house. Ive only just stopped ro think about this. Its crazy.

Ive been noticing how much alcohol is everywhere! And so normalized despite being addictive and dangerous. Im finding myself craving this afternoon (USA West Coast) and thinking how I could have a drink in my hand in about 3 minutes if i wanted. Taking it hour by hour, telling myself I wont drink until 5, then ill move it to 7, then 9, etc.
I need to find something to do tonight while single on valentines 
Do you have AA meetings in your area/do you have any interest in them?

Right!! Like there is even more if I think about the same distance in other directions that is just on my route home. It’s absolute insanity.

Thanks, im still hanging on at almost 6pm. Im so tired of arguing with myself. Today might be a good day for me to just go to sleep early.
Have a great sober 24!

On nights like that I usually put my pyjamas on and read in bed before until I fall asleep early . I know it may not work for everyone but Im a a lot less likely I’ll go out to pick up if I have to leave a Comfy bed AND get dressed to do it. Mainly because I truly don’t want to it’s my inner addict voice just yapping. Maybe that could get you through tonight?

Absolutly! And you know what? As soon as i was under the covers and in front of the heater I knew there was no way I was going back outside in the cold for anything 
ordered some food delivery and let myself get a dr. Pepper, plenty of candy and trash tv for the night.
Thanks for talking me off the ledge guys it means literally the whole world to me right now 
continually amazed by the generosity of spirit from strangers on here thanks so much
