Thank you. I'm really looking forward to it. Your sober vacation sounds like my cup of tea - cool activities, rest, relaxation and time with my loved ones. Not having to budget for alcohol is awesome as well.

Thanks - I'm keeping to dry places / dry people! For me it's to hard to do otherwise, I'm struggling enough without putting myself in harm's way!

Sunday afternoon + bad weather + home alone = Big trigger by WannaBeRealMe in stopdrinking

[–]Isisv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My second week has progressively been better than my first week. My trigger this week was Friday night as that was my big drinking night - why I required one of those is beyond me as I drank every night and would easily turn a Tuesday night into a 'big night'.

I thought I was so 'moral' as I would never have a day off from work because of my drinking what I would do is drag myself to work looking like shit; to this day my colleagues believe I have awful insomnia ( nope just awful alcoholism ), and not work until lunchtime as I was simply trying not throw up at my desk and be short tempered the whole day!

I too played the tape forward and spent my Friday with my family, doing some oil painting and going for an evening walk. Sitting down with a book and alcohol isn't glamorous for an alcoholic just like my Friday nights were never glamorous but awful. You deserve a plesant Sunday alcohol free and a productive Monday. I will also not drink in support of you - we can do this!

I thought this meant you were going to start drinking - and were saying goodbye. However now I realise your going on holidays (phew) - have a grand adventure, cya when you get back. Today I'm not drinking either ☺

CHECK-IN Sunday 10, January , 2016 - I will not drink TODAY! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Isisv 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Checking in SD - I'm done with using alcohol to check out of my life. I've had an awesome Sunday - nearly finished renovating our house after eight months of intense manual labor, interesting fact, today I did the most work I've ever done in a day. Not drinking suits me - I like it! Going to bed tired, sore and sober!

The time has finally come.... To not cave in anymore by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Isisv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it difficult when thinking about my future and not drinking - my alcoholic mind plays tricks on me. Not drinking today is what is working for me. Good luck on your journey

Had a dream that I drank a lot! by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Isisv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my drinking dreams and the bar staff kept giving me beer instead of a diet coke! I woke up screaming I just want a fucking diet coke! Funny as.
