So I am almost a week sober now and I am doing really well…but my child suddenly fell ill today with fever vomiting ect I actually considered taking a drink to deal with the stress then I realized I am a coward I have hidden all my problems for 15 years behind alcohol and just chose not to deal with it …just drink it away!!! Well this is part of getting sober…LEARN TO HANDLE STRESS AND DEAL WITH YOUR PROBLEMS LORRY!!!

The only way to get forward is not hiding problems (in this case with alcohol) and facing the problem to make it disappear. You are doing good.

Amen. I’m learning this recently too at almost a week sober. A bad feeling arises and rather than deal, the first thing I think is , I could use a drink. Im not even sure when i slipped from “a drink is great for fun social time” to i need one to deal with lifes little issues. Scarey. Happy you are here now with us, with me.
If you guys were not here I would have failed numerous times…but when I get the urge I just think how bad I am going to feel to tell you I have slipped and then I change my mind hehe…and most important I dont want to dissapoint myself
