@Charlie_C Yep. Same boat. My husband is taking my youngest on a camping trip Fri-Mon. My 18yo will be at work most of the weekend. So no real adult supervision going on. Sad that I need it but that’s my reality. At 47 years old. My plan is to schedule things to do & to just have a plan. If I don’t decide ahead of time that I won’t be drinking I could easily relapse and no one but me would know. That secrecy is seductive. I have to be accountable to myself. That’s always been hard for me.

Ass kicked sir 🙋thanks!

Good morning all! Day 5 and grumpy as ever. Everything seems to be getting under my skin this morning. I am trying to remember it’s just me but it feels like I’m being tested, can I stay strong and not let myself give in to that oh so tempting drink when I get off work. I sure hope so. I dont want to have taken 5 steps forward only to take 5 giant steps backward.

I would recommend trying to put some plans in place for your evening even if it’s just to eat and spend some time reading on here. Hope is unfortunately not a strategy. Maybe check out the sunshine thread, there’s plenty of nice folk to spend the night chatting to on there. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

@Jennie79 stay the course. The irritability won’t last forever! Don’t take the first drink & you’ll be good. Come here if you need support after work!
@ShadowFax sorry last night was so rough. Hoping tonight is much better. @Fireweed and @Deadman congrats on ONE YEAR!! So inspiring!! @Jane.c I flagged someone for the first time yesterday. I don’t think you should be too worried about it. Some things need to be flagged. Do what’s best for you though & take a break if you need one. @Joy congrats on 90 days!!

To a great person and great friend Hanna @Fireweed, congratulations on a year! Aren’t we still doing pints of ice cream around here to celebrate 1 year? If so, I got one with your name on it for tonight! Make it a double for your sober twin Deadman.

I’m definitely working on plans to keep busy this evening. I think I’m going to make my little go for a walk and play monploly with me lol which sadly for him will be torture. But I will need the distraction of bugging my pre-teen :joy::joy:
