Got day one out of the way and my plan worked out pretty well. Got the kids to bed and right after I took my melatonin and was asleep by 8:30. I’m feeling well rested and positive that I can do this as long as I stick to my written out plan. Already explained to my husband that I won’t be up drinking with him anymore and that he’s welcome to do what I’m doing but if he feels like not doing it then that’s on him. I need to concentrate on myself for my own sanity and health. I give everything I am to him and the kids but it’s time to do something for me and old habits have to stop if I’m going to be there for any of them. My husband said that he’s worried that we won’t do anything together with me going to bed early and I told him a compromise would be movie nights, game nights and me and him nights without the alcohol involved. He agreed and I know this will be hard but it’s time for a change. I can hope that by seeing me move away from the alcohol he can eventually do it too. For now, it’s stay positive, concentrate on me and advance forward. I can do it!!

Thank you both!! I’m giving it my all and working hard. This group helps a lot since I can relate to a lot of people here. When I start to think of drinking or my plans for the night I look at my timer and browse through posts.
