Yay for double digits!! Things will settle down the longer you go. Just keep taking it one day at a time!

I’m definitely taking things one day at a time! I have a 14yr old daughter who has mental health issues and she tests every nerve I have! Last night was horrible!

Today is one of those days I could “go for a glass of wine to relax and wind down”. I won’t. I will drink a tall glass of water and then some herbal tea. But, for whatever reason. I really really want a drink. I’m just going to observe these feelings and thoughts, play the tape through and be grateful for my objectivity in this matter. It’s romanticizing and nothing more.

We’re living parallel lives. I have a 14yo daughter with mental health issues and she has had a really rough week. I feel you!! Hang in there. I have an 18yo daughter too and I can tell you that it will get better! Hugs.

I feel you. So hard. It’s cold here and I used to love to sit in front of the fire at the end of the day with a glass of wine. NO longer an option. Proud of you for acknowledging the feeling and just moving on with the water and herbal tea plan. I’m meeting someone at a Meeting tonight to keep me from giving in. We can do this. :slight_smile:

Yes we can. :heart: We can just as easily replace that glass of wine with a cup of warm tea by the fireplace. No liver damage and hangovers after such a pleasure.

I drink hot tea every night. My kids think I’m an old lady. I don’t care. It’s working for me so I’m sticking with it. Just sometimes that sneaky little voice likes to butt in. Stay strong! :heart:

First night without it, still dealing with that crappy hangover from last night. I made a trail mix to help me with some flavoured water and hot tea.

Oh me too! It’s a must when I’m not drinking. Just finished day 2 today and I am excited about ending it with a steaming hot cup of chamomile lavender tea.

Tea on friend!
