It’s so hard. I’m beyond sleep deprived and exhausted. I’m stressed and feel like I haven’t had a break. The sort of tired that every inch of your body dosent give a f##k . It’s so hard not to drink when my husband is sitting in the lounge room with wine drinking away every night! Tonight Is my 25day. Is so tough I’m crying because I feel that a drink will make me feel better . My brain is telling what harm is one drink dose it even count. … This is f##ked.

There must be a reason you don’t drink.
Is that reason greater then what happens if you do drink?
I know it feels like what’s the big deal if u have just one but will just one stay just one?
What happens if one becomes two, three or four?
Are you happy with that person then?
These are all things i ask myself when i want to just say f#$@ it.
I have to play the tape all the way through and remember why it is i stopped drinking to begin with.
Does your husband have a problem with you drinking?
If you asked him could or would he respect your wishes not to drink in the house or when your going through moments like this?
I know what is like to go what your going through…it will pass…sometimes like a kidney stone, but it will pass!
Stay strong…Stay sober!

Its so hard sometimes, but try to set youre mind on other things.
Do you have an addiction counselour were you can go to and talk about youre stress?
Most of the times the reason why you want to use or drink is a problem underneath it.
Try to solve that problem or find out were everything is coming from.
If there is a posibility go to a forrest for a walk, do something you like.
I totally understand youre feelings its so frustrating!
Its very good that you speak it out here, the more you talk, the more everything is getting out of youre mind and body (even if you dont feel that at the moment)
That one drink you really gonna regret, its not worth it!
Youre stronger than this, keep in mind that you already did it for 25days.
Wauw im so proud of you !!! Im on 11 days now, you can be so proud of yourself.
And believe me, when you wake up tommorow without a hangover and shitty feelings, you will olso be so proud that youre stronger than youre mind and the addiction that is talking to you.
Its like a little devil or monster that try;s to fuck youre mind. You can do this!!! Be strong!!!
You can always send a message ive you have a need to talk

I didn’t drink.
I’m glad I didn’t I went to my husband and told him I’m going to have a drink. He talked me out of it. He has a drinking problem and he said I’m inspiring a change in him but his not ready to quit yet.
I’m glad so bloody glad I didn’t and I have to work out what the trigger was last night.
And yes a reason and mantra is a great idea to set up.
Thanks
