Bad morning at work and all that I want to do is drink. Help.

Remember that drinking likely never helped just blocked and distracted. Instead focus on what you can influence and change and what you must endure. Stay strong and know you have the ability to do this

Thank you so much. So true. It just numbs and takes me out of life and that’s not how I want to love anymore.

Absolutely. You can solve the problems better and endure the struggles with grace when your mind is clear. Expect to feel a little overwhelmed but you have the mindset to clear your thoughts now and focus on each issue as it comes. One thing at a time.

That’s an amazing idea. It feels so good for a very short time then it’s horrible.

Remember that one is to many and a thousand is never enough. Use Your higher power, call Your sponsor or a friend in recovery! The mental Obsession to drink is very powerful, get help to get threw this, You can’t do it alone, turn to someone who knows what You are going threw! I will pray for You!

Thank you so so much for asking. There were multiple times I almost ran to the store today but knowing I have put this out here even confidentially is giving me a sense that I can really do this. At this very moment I don’t even want any. I know that will change but this is a first step and I am so hopeful. Thanks for reaching out.
