Wow that sounds really stressful! I hope your kids will take naps so you can take a deep breath.
If I were able to make it, so can you, love!
Stay strong! I usually wake up at least once at night, so I’ll check up on you!!!

What aren’t you going to make?
Through the evening without a drink.
Can you pour out all the alcohol right now?
Why are you feeling that way?
Have you found in the past that drinking made you feel better? Proud of yourself? Better able to cope with the kids?
It sure didn’t do any of that for me.
I was at my utter worst while drinking, overweight, deeply depressed and anxious, suicidal, no self esteem. I was so so sick of myself. Drinking definitely did not hold the answers to my issues.
For me, each day sober added slowly, so slowly to my healing and regaining self respect and self esteem.
I know you are hurting and wanting a quick fix. But the quick fix is no fix at all…just another trip down the rabbit hole.
You are worthy of a healthy peaceful life. You are worthy of your own respect and admiration. You are worthy.
Pour out the booze and do whatever it takes to get thru today sober. Have faith in your self. 
Magic happens in sobriety.

It makes me not care quite as much that they’re getting on my nerves. We’ve had a long day. I’ve cried three times today. I just want this day to end.

They going to bed soon? Put them all in front of a movie and you take a bath? Get a movie on for all of you and some popcorn and try to settle them down?
You can get thru tonight without a drink. I know it isn’t easy, but your self esteem will love you for it.
I’ve still got 3 hours. I still have to make dinner… I just don’t want to feel right now.
I can understand not wanting to feel. But on the other side of that is FEELING GOOD. You can get to that place. It sucks to be stressed, but drinking won’t change that. It will just make you feel worse in the long run.
You are stronger than you think. You can stay sober for 3 hours. Order a pizza or make one with the kids. Feed them cereal or a frozen pizza. Or make something more elaborate if that will keep you from drinking. Can you take the kids out for a walk? Or run around the block with them? Expend some energy…maybe a big loud dance party?!!
I know it feels all consuming…but you can do this. Take it minute by minute if you have to.

Hubby hid the rum. He leaves for work soon. I grabbed a soda and have been working on dinner. Feeling slightly better.

I love this idea. Going to stock up tomorrow. Already planning a bath tonight after I get the kids to bed. Since nobody napped today at least rhat part should go quickly.

@Marisim It was so hard. This craving just took over. I became a total jerk to the kids and my husband for about an hour until it passed. I am really shocked too. I mean, I wanted to drink with nearly every fiber of me.
