I’m on day 8 currently and I am really struggling with wanting to go out a d drink after work. I don’t know why, nothing has happened to spark this today. I have been dealing with a lot( my dad recently passed on 12/28/24) so I have been sad understandably but today just seems like I’m really wanting to drink.

Sorry to hear that your dad has passed away but life must go on. I'm your dad would be grateful if you continue your sobriety. Your life will get better and better. It really takes time to get where you need to be. It all starts with a single day of being sober.

I’m definitely try to take things one day at a time. I’m going to to do some zoom meetings when I get home from work. Just got to get through this day.

That's good make sure you stay involved.
I’m so sorry to hear of your dad passing. Sounds like you have a plan to hop on some zoom meetings and that is great. I attend the original zoo crew and it’s amazing. They are open 18 hours a week and whenever you hop on you are either in fellowship or in a meeting. There are all types of meetings available as well. You
got this! It is just one day at a time and like Esmeralda said, take it one minute at a time if you need to.
Did you make it through the day?
So sorry for your loss. Don't give up keep looking to the future

Ray, in my early sobriety sleep was a rare thing. It’s definitely a challenge!
Please know that you will normalize and things will get much better!
I’m here if you want to talk
Ronda, I had to go to lots of meetings and work a real program to beat down my alcoholism.
You don’t have to and shouldn’t fight this battle on your own.
