Girl im sooo sorry to hear u struggling. This is concerning for sure as they do say relapse begins before the actual act of relpasing. BUT… you are so self aware. You see the warning signs and so what can be done to prevent this relapse from happening?? What have you stopped doing that may need to be started back up again? What does your body need right now? Do you need a break? Do you need a new hobby? Are u eating and sleeping and doing the things u love? Do u have any resentments that are causing u pain (they say resentments are the number ine killer for us alcoholics and addicts)? Go back to those basics, those things that were done in the early days that kept u on track such as writing out your whys of quitting, or meditation or whatever it is that helped you early on, that u can do now to bring urself out of this. You dont have to relapse. Your addiction is playing serious mind games with u. Its strong but your stronger!! Gratitude lists. Reminding urself of the beenfits of staying quit. And I know you know that things wont be any better girl if u drink. The problem of alcoholism/addiction centers in our minds. We don’t think our way into a new kind of living. We have to live our way into a new kind of thinking. So basically taking action to change our thinking. I know u can get thru this. This too shall pass

Just taking it easy watching films, 24 hrs at a time.
You explain very well, especially about the living and thinking.
Thank you for taking time to respond whilst your self your going through medical stuff.
Hope you’re both okay iv been thinking about you both allot and saying prayers

Can you send an email re housing assistance to get the ball rolling on a solution without having to put too much effort into it? Assuming you find the idea of calling and speaking to someone too much, I sometimes do.
The weather will improve and you will be able to take one of those hikes before too long. For now the important thing is to keep as warm as you can. Layers of clothes and lots of blankets!
Being stuck in uncertainty sucks. I think there is something about this time of year in particular - the tendency for reflections and resolutions - that makes it more front and centre. I remind myself that uncertainty is for life not just for Christmas 
no pressure to have all the answers, or any of them really.
I hope you stay safe and warm until the repairman gets to you.

Yeah, I hate making phone calls, but I did it anyway cuz i’m desperate.
Exactly. I have two sleeping bags. And blankets. Fortunately the repair guy showed up about 2 hours ago.
It does. I’d rather hear “no” than wait by the phone waiting for an answer.
Thanks for your kind words!

Hey my friend hes doing actually a bit better. Hes still on oxygen and his ventilator all day. But he is able to sleep for longer periods without it being uncomfortable for him.
