I hope your day is going well right now. Not sure what time it is where you are. Iāve been off the app a bit the last few days and didnāt see your post. Iām right there with ya just wanting to sleep or read or waste time. Lots of family Christmas activities going on the next 2 days. Iām not in the mood. But Iāll paint a smile on my face and get through it. Youāre right - one day at a time is the only way to go. Hugs

Day 104 check in. Iāve already posted on other threads that today is hard. Not having alcohol to hide behind when Iām flooded with emotions is proving to be more of a challenge than I thought. Iām struggling with every aspect of life today. But Iām sober. Pressing on. One day at a time.

96 days. Iām with @crystalclear and fighting really hard today. Had a good cry and i think Iām ready to finish xmas shopping. I only need 2 more things but finding it difficult to just get out and do it. Wrapping later is another hurdle. Today Iām taking it minute by minute. Merry Christmas to my TS family.

Iām struggling, Iām tempted by the holidays and surrounded by drinkers that I used to love to hang with. 15 months sober now, Jan 2. will be 500 days. Iām fighting minute by minute the thoughts that say it can be controlled and Iām starting to think maybe I can test the theory, just a little. See if I can control the demon. Iāve been living in solitude for the entirety of my 15 months ( except for family, wife
2 kids) and although my health has improved I wonder what kind of life if this. Feeling confused, angry, tempted, alone and lost. Iām not looking for any magic responses, I just needed to voice this. Merry Christmas to all of of youā¦

Nope. You canāt. You know how it ends if you test it. Not worth it. Acknowledge the temptation for what it is and stay the course. Sober is better. Promise.

@Rob68 Same! Iām pretty excited about 2020 
Not sure when Iām getting them. Ex hubs #1 isnāt the best with communication. Iām thinking Thursday though.
Glad you decided to share instead of going for the bottle. I know I was a little blunt but I didnāt want you to have any doubt about what I was trying to say.
