I just needed to let someone know that yesterday was a bad day for me... all the way home from work I had to keep talking myself out of stopping and getting some wine.. in my mind I kept saying "no one will know".... I want to be sober for ME!! Not anyone else!! Just needed to vent that!

Yep! Been there. Wine will temporarily make you feel better but worse after. I bought myself a kombucha and Doritos yesterday. Made me feel pretty dang good.

I am too!! I almost used it as an excuse to get mad and start an argument but Im so glad that I thought about just the baby steps I had taken
I know this is a process but so hope that I can continue to talk myself out of it
Every time you want to drink you can always message me or post here. It ain’t worth it girl, you know you’ll just feel regret after you do it. We’ve all been there tho and eventually you’ll get really tired of being tired and just do the first step and admit powerlessness over it.

Good deal! Just don’t drink no matter what!
Don’t forget to ask for help in those situations. We can’t do this on our own.

I think it's great that you are sharing on here and that you overcame your desire to drink.
(This time)
Be careful about trying to do it all on your own. When people relapse, I call it "Believing the big lie;" That this time it will be OK. But it never is, is it?
I tell people to play the scene forward. What will happen if you drink? You will feel good for a short time. But when it's over, you will be right back where you were before you started and you will have to start all over again. In AA we call it the Insidious cycle of insanity.
I hope you're going to some meetings and meeting people that have been where you're at. It helps alot. Phone calls and meetings are way better than any app.

thank you!
absolutely!!!
I know the feeling I wasn't so lucky the other day, I went to lunch had a drink and then came home and got drunk. That's now why I'm seeking help, I can't do this anymore I want to be done with drinking. I'm so glad you were were strong enough to say no I hope to be that way soon.
