I’ve gone through periods of week sobriety…it’s always that second weekend that my mind starts playing those alcoholic games. I already felt it this morning, just a thought can manifest. I immediately stopped and prayed..asked God to keep me sober and I told myself to keep doing the work bc it works. Day by day, moment by moment. Thanks

Yes the weekend and really, for me, boredom. And even worse is Monday after you've drank all weekend and worked all day. Shew! I am 8 days in. I feel SO much better waking up not hungover or groggy from alcohol. I have told my husband(and myself) this time that I cannot be around alcohol at all. Not for a long time. Ive tried quitting before and someone shows up with a 6 pack and I cave. So, this time we have consciously told people that they can't bring alcohol to our house. Not going to eat at places that serve alcohol. Also, taking long walks has helped me tremendously.

Boredom is a big trigger for me too. Walking sounds great. I’ll definitely do that. It’s crazy how quickly the kind works. Anyhow, I’ll be challenged but I’m gunnu keep strong and reach out for help if needed. Actually, I’ll probably immerse myself in a lot of sober tool like things this weekend.
