I’m on day 4 of no drinking. I only started about 5 weeks ago after being sober for a year and a half. Things started slowly and they gradually they got out of control ending in a 4 day binge. My kids are going to heir dads today and I’m already thinking about alcohol. I don’t drink when they are with me. I’m trying very hard to keep busy and make a plan for keeping busy when they leave. I’m really worried I’m going to cave and buy alcohol.

I hope you were able to stay strong today!
Day 3 here and yesterday I made a list of all the things I would do when I wanted a drink. Sip tea, go outside, read recovery stories, blast punk rock, go to a hobby store and spend booze money to try something new. Keep my hands and my brain busy.
Make your list, try new things, don’t give up, I notice that when I stopped checking in here and reaching out to others, I gave in only a day or two later. Check in everyday. Holler if you need anything!!
