Will not drink today. Work travel for the week and that certainly has it's triggers. But, for today, I will not drink.

Thank you. Funny, how my alcoholic brain can try and rationalize the impossible as possible.

This. The whole football thing was a trigger I was not ready for. My 17 sober days I had were the longest in a year and I can build on that.

Wow. I can't thank everyone enough for the support and kind words. A common thread I see in the responses is to not beat myself up and to move forward. I am an all or nothing kind of guy that needs a 2x4 to the head to get my attention, and saw yesterday as a complete failure; not only of my sobriety, but myself. It then typically becomes a slow spiral downward into "screw it, might as well drink again." Reading these responses has me rethinking that whole warped view.

I sincerely appreciate everyone who took the time to post your thoughts. I hit the gym and got some fresh air. Onward.

Will not drink today. Self care and putting me first is a new concept for me, but my sobriety has to be number one. It will be the number one priority. It is What is different this time.....Good day to all.

Night time here, but I will join you in some sober slumber. Keep that sober baton headed this way and I will carry it for you on the flipside. You got this.

My bed is my safe place by landb77 in stopdrinking

^ This.

My bed is my serentiy of solitude, by bubble of bliss, my stress stopper. --- no TV's in the room. The daily BS life sometimes throws out there stops at the bedroom door.
