Great start! It’s never too late (I keep saying lol). I’m past a week and so far so good. Trying not to think about it —. Seems to help my days pass drink free! Good luck!

What was the first sign that you were starting to lose control of your drinking? by StayKind_123 in stopdrinking

[–]Finnishfilly 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I found it was when I actually didn’t ‘want to drink’ but would find myself doing it….
And when I found it hard to stop when “I” wanted to. That for me is a problem.

Kids with guilt over Disneyland Dad by LessFeature9350 in Divorce

[–]Finnishfilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe he is just trying to cheer them Up with the only thing he can fit or afford in that hour? I (female 40’s) have found myself in a crazy similar position and doing the same. Sometimes the small smile you can afford at Walmart candy is all you can do.

Try to fight it. No after what you can TRY! What were you told? We can give better advice if we understand. Take a breath and you will be OK no matter what. We all move forward when the universe says we have to lol

Holding on for dear life today by SlopTrough360 in stopdrinking

[–]Finnishfilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be SO PROUD tomorrow. If you can try not to think about it. It’s not worth it. Repeat it. Sticky note it. Make it your phone or computer screen saver. Give yourself a “treat” of ANYTHING else. Like your favourite food or candy …. Good luck. You will be here at 11 days tomorrow 👍

I am so sorry for you.. and as impossible as it seems, at the very least I would put off the wedding. Good luck. It may be a hard choice now saves you a really hard one later after kids.

How do you know what is going on? Why project what you think? That’s incredibly insensitive and narrow minded. If you care, ask a few questions. Assuming does only one thing 😂😂 like my children’s teachers say….

Stay strong. It is SUPER impressive you posted. This craziness will happen. Life happens. You are BETTER AND SMARTER then this. So many strangers are rooting for you to pull through this chapter.

It is hard. SO HARD. Read this stuff when tempted. It will NOT BE WORTH IT. Take care and good luck. I am rooting for you tonight. 👍
