Get to a meeting and call your sponsor, if you don’t have one call your best sober friend, it get hard I know especially at weekends and if your doing nothing but lounging around , you’ve been here before and made it through at 1 minute at a time for now, then 1 hour at a time then ONE DAY AT A TIME:muscle:

You said it best when you informed me of ODAAT. So here’s an ODAAT back to you. I’ve never had an alcohol issue but the ice was sooooo bad for me. I still have dreams about using. And when I wake up I thank God that it was just a dream. It’s hard for us all but this community is so supportive especially for me. I know you got this and hope that this little bit of encouragement helps you. You are beautiful inside and out and never forget that. Using was a bad look. I believe in you!

Go for a walk, make some tea, have a cookie, read a book or watch a funny flick. Any Medea movies do it for me(Tyler Perry). Hang tight! You can do this, be stubborn and say NO.

@angie377287 I hear you and can relate. What worked for me when I was 4.5 years sober was reading the "Living Sober" book. You can get it on the "Everything AA" APP.
Here I am at 36+years sober and I still read it. If you do decide to read it pay close attention to tip 4 (it starts on page 7).
Add me and we'll read it together.

Angie, you’re definitely not alone! Many of us have these horrible times, but we get through it. I lean on the sober community and my program. Then it passes, always! Then I’m stronger and have reference for the next episode. Service really helps! And gratitude is our medicine.
I’m here if you want to talk
