Did you know about antabuse or acamprosate?
Thanks so much @Bomdhil, @Rob68, and @Conor689908! Iāll be sure to check in if I feel week. I hate when these thoughts creep in. This is my 2nd sober Christmas , but last year I had a husband and my kids. Iām just lonely, sigh.

Day 23, trying to make it through today without drinking. My MIL is still staying with us (itās been a month so far) and it just makes me so uncomfortable. Shes a super healthy eater and doesnāt like it if we get pizza, like we did last night. I wanted wine so much while waiting for the pizza. She is unkind to my daughter and makes rude remarks which puts me into mama bear mode. She leaves to stay in a condo for a month January 4th. Problem is I dont know if I can wait that long.

I understand that feeling of loneliness and how powerful it can feelā¦ive been going to menās group meetings and start introducing myself so I have more people to lean on when I am feeling lonely.
I want to commend you on playing the tape through! Itās so easy to be tempted but you are able to see through to the end what drinking will really do for your loneliness. You got this!!!

Checking in on day 44.
Made it to the families last night and had a good first evening drinking kombucha, visiting, and putting together a puzzle. Also got unpacked, and organized for the week ahead. (My brain loves it when Iām all āsettled inā and have my comfort items handy).
Looking forward to another day of visiting, and enjoying the festivities.

Christmas Eve party with old school friends this evening. Mixed feelings, we are running late and thatās a bit stressful but I am looking forward to seeing everyone. Not worried about drinking but I am seriously craving cigarettes and I donāt know how that will play out.

Sugar free lifesavers!!! They are called that for a reason. 
And a brisk walk around the block. Soothes the nicotine agitated soul.
Enjoy the party, leave early if you must. Stay strong!!
