I feel like your mind stole my mind’s lines! 
Seriously, well done to recognize and acknowledge that the urge, that voice, is not the truth. Take the fly swatter or the bottom of a shoe to it! Or ignore it with a football match, or whatever it takes.
It starts to get the hint, but you already know that. 
Edited to add: but this business about you being a math teacher is somewhat triggering for me! 
Day 221 clean and sober today. I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys!!! 
Yesss! Well done on 180!
And on to 181… One day at a time!
Hey all, checking in on day 219. I hope everyone is doing well.
@MagicMama Sorry you had to endure that last night but times like these allow you & your son to appreciate how far you have come. Hopefully your husband will see what you have and want it for himself. Either way keep kicking ass at kicking ass.
217 days. Feeling a bit better today and am thinking it was a COPD flare up. Had a restless sleep tossing, turning and reaching for my man who was at work. Will try my best to not nap today and go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow is my personal best and somehow I have lost my feelings of excitement. Although I have support around me, the milestone celebrations are solo or so it seems.
It is way to much. And that’s exactly what the social service said as well. It’s to much for a normal parent to deal with even if we have experience from special needs kids.
Feeling alright. I didn’t sleep for 40+ after babysitting. Slept alright but waaaaay too late. Currently waiting on hold to my Internet provider because they have one job and they’re crap at it. In the meantime, here are 2 ten year old pictures of me when I would “Goff up” and party for days on end. We thought we looked great lol I came across these late yesterday and couldn’t help but laugh
Ha. Apologies for being a maths teacher. I’m normal in almost every other respect…
Heavy drinking in teaching is common. I have a number of friends who I think have similar issues to mine.
Thanks for the kind words.
The funny thing is that as a maths teacher I’m finding it hard to work out how many days I’ve actually done. Do we start the clock at the moment we finished our last drink - which is the time that I put into the app, or at the point we woke up on our first clean day? 
Full disclosure: I don’t trust that question coming from a maths teacher… I’m destined to fail. But if you ask me to write an introductory level philosophy paper on the subject, or at least a personal essay - I stand a chance of passing…!
In all seriousness, I think it’s a personal choice. I did a few last “penalty laps” at attempting moderation, but I’m about as good at that as I am at calculus. (Read: Epic Failure.) I came to some kind of uncomfortable but truthful terms that I needed sobriety. I selected my date ahead of time to prepare myself. I had a good long break-up conversation with my wine glass. I set it down empty at midnight, and pushed the clock on the app - start time “0 secs, 0 mins, 0hrs, 0days”. Just like you have done. No resets since.
What all the seasoned pros around here say? About one day at a time? It works.
That - and no math.
