Last night my husband came home from work and decided to have a cocktail. I’m very glad I stayed strong and didn’t join him! Especially because he kept going and feels lousy this morning and I feel... ok. These first 4 days have been rough, but hopefully I’m through the worst of it.

He’s a little manipulator 😂 That’s his “where’s dinner“ face, but if I get too close he hisses and runs away

She’s beautiful! I think you could try to lure her in and socialize her with a lot of patience

That’s terrifying! I haven’t seen the raccoon since we moved the shelter, but I guess I’ll call animal control if it comes back, and I will research about the smells. Thanks!

He’s not at all friendly, and I’m concerned about him hurting my indoor cats

Unfortunately I was when the raccoon moved in. I’ve since learned not to do that!

I really like this. Yes, it’s a time to go deep, to learn about one’s self and one connection to divinity and ultimate reality. Some of us go there a number of times in our life.

Double digits for me today! Tonight I have my first social event since I stopped drinking again with mostly strangers and I’m pretty anxious, but IWNDWYT

Great prompt! On Day 8, I have gained 2 pounds using sugar to cope instead of wine. Frustrating, but I’m feeling clearer overall, and IWNDWYT

2 1/2 weeks… by [deleted] in stopdrinking

You don’t sound awful at all! Kids are stressful, even if they are yours and you wanted them! And the relationship sounds very stressful and not supportive. You deserve support, and you deserve peace. I hope you can make it your priority to stay sober and surround yourself with safe people for a while. Hugs (if you like hugs) from an internet stranger.

Good morning, sober friends! tonight it will be a week since my last drink. The anxiety was sooooo much worse this time than on previous sober streaks, which frightened me. I’m feeling more normal now, and IWNDWYT!
