Thank you lovely lady. My day was a bit shitty in the beginning at work. But it got better and ended it well and sober. In bed with the kids upstairs. Separated myself from them downstairs. Thank God noone asks. They just assume I have to work and get up early which is true. No cravings so far. it feels so good.
Good night my dear friends

Today I have to go into work. We have an event happening starting at 5pm. I hate to be there, planning to leave as early as I can. After dinner. Talked to a colleague yesterday who also doesnāt want to be there. I know she stopped drinking 6 months ago, told her I donāt drink anymore either. She suggested we will leave together. Thank God I have one sober person thereā¦
Check in here later again

I just got caught up on your thread and wanted to let you know I see the hard work youāre doing. Iām really proud of you, Julia. Having your in laws drinking daily must be very tempting. I give you a ton of credit for not giving in and doing the next right thing to maintain sobriety. Sending lots of love and strength.

Love you all so much! You guys are so sweet. I had a big pizza for lunch. I feel sick and tired now. I just want to stuff myself so I donāt get the cravings later. But I feel confident with my non drinking colleague around.
Normally I would just not eat anything until night so the alcohol gets up quicker my head. Iām just counting the hours until 9ish. Thatās when I want to leave the event. In like 6 hours. Once Iām on my way home Iām safeā¦

Not outvof your mind loveā¦this is normal.
Going to a event so early in sobriety is difficult with all those temptations.
You my friend ate strong! You dont need alcohol to have a good time. You will enjoy yourself and go home sober. You will wake up tomorrow hangover and guilt free.
We are here if u need to chat for a minute or two. Are you able to mingle with your coworker also in sobriety?

Glad you were able to remove yourself and calm down.
Pulling for you, Julia. You can get thru this.
You will be so relieved when you wake up without a hangover tomorrow.

Dear friends just want to say thanks to each of you. Finished this work event safe and sober. In the beginning it was a bit awkward not to drink with everyone I just then filled the water I had in a wine glass and then noone asked anymore. The food was delicious. I even danced a bit and had really fun sober. and in the end I helped a super drunk colleague who puked all over the place. Gave him some water and told his teamlead to take care of him. Iām just so happy to go to bed sober now.
Unfortunately the sober colleague I had lost the battle of not drinking and ended up drinking. I first felt a bit sad but then I knew I wasnāt alone because I have all of you guys. There were 3 other people that did not drink either so I hung out with them too and it was lovely.
Now off to bed. Night night

doing all right today - feeling hopeful. i did attempt to do some light walking and a seated yoga 30 minute stretch. i am mainly working on self-care and now catching up on some work. I did make a lovely lunch meal that i was able to take over to my parents for their dinner since they have a long day today.
nothing planned for the weekend - more of the same. just working on trying to self-care and survive through the detox.
what are your plans for the weekend?
