I had a rough day, like really bad right in the morning with 12 hours of work ahead. Any other day I’d go straight to the liquor store after work and drink until 2am. Tonight I committed to going straight home, putting my fat pants on and drinking some stupid tea. I’m grateful that I did.

Yay! That’s awesome! One day at a time ODAAT!!! 
I don’t know if you have a HP if you do that it/she/him for keeping you sober. That’s what works for me.

Fat pants and tea are awesome! But if there's a meeting or you have a supportive sponsor or friend use them too. I know I can comfort myself but sometimes talking out the yuckiness is the only way to a new perspective or a new tool to combat the crud. A drink never removes our pain our loneliness our sadness our difficulties or our sense of hopelessness. Sadly a drink only increases these feelings immediately and immensely. A meeting a good sponsor or a real friend will listen and can offer tools or options which actually can change us and our experience of life.
Thank you for sharing you feelings your struggles and your choices. You helped someone today.

Yeah getting sober's like Opposite Day my alcoholism makes me resistant to the solutions but if I figure out when I do the solutions that they work and make my life 1 million times better then I understand that's hot tea is the way to go

I’m very fortunate to have a very strong support system, which I know is not the case for so many. This group has helped and encouraged me, which I wasn’t expecting.
Hi Leigh Ann, I don’t know what an HP is?

Good . I wrote so much I'm surprised you read it. I just felt it was important to encourage you. Sobriety can be surprisingly fun. Have a good time

I also drink tea usually towards the end of the day when my cravings get worse. I drink peppermint tea and chamomile mixed together, it helps me calm down a bit. Awesome not giving in after a bad day, thats usually when I want to give up too/relapse. Talking helps too, maybe try to find someone to talk to about whats bothering you, I think it helps to get it out.
