Well I was doing great, almost made it three days. And then my work stressed me out, and reminded me of my unhappiness. I relapsed, and regretted it instantly this am. Feeling stronger today after failing, picked myself up and feeling stronger. Wish me luck!

Best of luck and thanks for posting. I had a meeting tonight that was stressful af. I sometimes have to train people and this guy was just embarrassing and obnoxious. Normally I’d be like, f this and go drink after. Super wanted to drink tonight.
Exactly. And I also realized I use my frustration/stress about work to drink. Once it was in my head last night to drink, nothing was going to stop me. Today I have felt strangely stronger. Went to grocery store and walked through beer aisle, walked by the women stocking wine, and did not even blink an eye. Vodka is my main posion, but I resisted the urge even with cash in pocket!

Thinking of you @Elisabeth
Nice work @BlissLeah!
@BlissLeah, hoping for less stress for you!
Thanks Ray. I’m kinda new at this whole thing so any help is very welcome!
I keep telling myself that drinking doesn’t solve stress…it just puts off dealing with the stress while creating an extra problem.
Day 4. After hitting the reset button a million times! Have a great one today

Thanks @rabbit still sober. Going to a meeting today on my lunch. I hate having cravings and hate the urge when things go badly. When I feel like this I just want to go to meetings all day and nothing else. Talking about it and just reading people’s posts feels like an AA online. It helps me stay focused.
