I HATE that indo this. Was feeling GREAT two days ago at work, text from hubby who has been layer off and having a bad day, “please bring home whiskey”. I KNEW I shouldn’t but still grabbed a bottle of wine as well, long story short, missed work the next day. What’s SO confusing is that I didn’t even feel lie drinking! Just did it because there was nothing else to do. Except there IS a ton to do! And now, this morning, I have to go I to work nervous and scared and making up some bull**** lie as to why I missed. And it’s a GREAT job. It’s a lifer type job if I don’t screw it up! My intentions are SO good. I frustrate myself so badly. So disappointed in myself.
Keep your chin up and try to stay proactive. Maybe try indulging in hobbies and fun activities together to replace alcohol? My husband and I play board games, video games, and a lot of cards. I also started painting and making crafts. Keeping busy with enjoyable activities and family time has been very helpful in avoiding drinking out of habit.
