Tonight I must go to an eighteen birthday dinner. I had to rest my clock on Tuesday and I am back to day 3. I have told my husband I will be driving tonight, but I cannot recall ever going to a function without having a drink, sometimes having a few before I even get there!!.. please help me get tthrough x

You can do it. Have a plan for when you get offered a drink. Tare soft drinks with you. Al ways have a soft drink in your hand. HAve someone to phone if you are struggling. Think how good you will feel in the morning when you’ve done it all sober Xx

Similar situation. Gother drunk Sunday and my girlfriend who I don’t live with and who I didn’t tell smelt it on me Monday. We had THE chat today about living together. She said she can’t live with someone who lied. Prior to the past couple of weeks had done 88 days sober and she thought I was still sober. She also said I waste money on hotels to see her but she won’t stay at my house saying it belongs to school. House in school grounds. Feel a loser but not turning to booze. WI’ll wake up problem still there having to reset and feeling shit. Stay strong

And you are NOT. A LOSER
Hi ya @Noxamanda11. Such kind words… thank you. In the end I never got close to pouring that drink. As we all know sobriety brings clarity. And I had a moment when I thought… im on my own again… is this what life holds for me? Then I pulled myself together… warched a video posted by @Oliverjava and just got on with it. Life gives hope is my conclusion. I might not marry this girl or she may never love me but drinking is gonna do jack to change that. I might live alone and find it lonely. DDrinking wonto change that either. I’ve been in some dark places like we all have but alcohol never turned the light on merely kept it off. Sorry for the ramble guys. You’re all my heroes. Life is what you make it. Be grateful for everything no matter how small. And it takes one second to change your life. That one second to say I’m not doing this any more. Right guys…parkrun 5k awaits. Have a great day where ever you are

nope, I am not. I’m actually really freaked out. Had a huge fight with hubby, he took away my debit card but I took it back and used it to get some dope. Now I am waiting to go home and face his utmost wrath because that’s what’s coming
Tanyarae sounds like we share an addiction, I’m guessing meth
No demon is cocaine it calls me snow Queen LOL sorry I have to laugh at myself for being weak for so long. Hope you are ok tonight
