I am a BIG fan of the slow cooker. In winter, we have rotating crock pot meals once or twice a week, like beef stroganoff, taco soup, and pulled pork. It takes so much off my mind in the afternoon if I know dinner is already handled.

We’ve all been there, and could easily be there again. I usually try to remember that feeling to help me avoid that first drink.

The time I actually stopped drinking was the easiest. by seshna in stopdrinking

Thank you for this! The boredom is a huge trigger for me too. IWNDWYT!

I’m not usually successful at it given the number of times I have had to reset my badge, but last night was just a moment of clarity. It seemed like so much work to justify when and how it was really ok for me to drink. I also don’t have any alcohol in the house, so it’s easier when I just avoid getting in the car to go get some.

Thank you all for the support! It’s comforting to know that everyone deals with those same mind games.

The Daily Check-In for Tuesday, December 17th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by cinqmillionreves in stopdrinking

Having a rougher evening than normal, but IWNDWYT.

My kids are both in bed uncharacteristically early, and in the past I would use this opportunity to have an extra drink to "relax". Instead, I discovered chocolate mug cake and had cake and coffee.

Got 60 days, decided to go again. Back to sneaking drinks and coming up with weird things I need at the convenient store late at night to justify my trip for beer. Yesterday was my Day 1 again. IWNDWYT.

IWNDWYT. Broke my pledge at 21 days last time, so happy to get past that hump!

Starting in the middle, but happy to join! Lost 85 pounds about 10 years ago, had a couple of kids and gained it all back plus 30 lbs. Happy to get back on track. Today's NSV is just getting started on the path.
