Need strength tonight.
I am on day 6!!!! Woohoo Doing great!!! But tonight the devil was tugging at me. I went to work 6:30-3:30 and all was well.
My babysitter/pastor’s wife calls and asks if my 4 year old son can stay the night tonight. She’s keeping her great niece and nephew tonight too. They’ve all stayed there before. That’s not a problem. But I miss him already lol ugh
I’m a single mom and we co-sleep together every night.
So this is good, and healthy, & fine. But since he won’t be here, I started hearing in my head, “You can go get just one drink then (and take it home). Since he won’t be home.”
I made it home without stopping anywhere and thought of things to do to keep me & my mind busy. But just need some strength and encouragement to not go get that ONE drink. Thanks everyone! Much love! So proud of you all!
No drink is worth ur son coming home in morning to a hung over mama .only one is a lie from the devil u are doin great keep being a good parent first alcoholic second
I did good. I cleaned the kitchen, did laundry, took a bath, drank a lot of water with squeezed lime juice and a big glass of brewed tea with like 5 different kinds in it lol all containing different vitamins and stuff like chamomile dandelion, lemon grass, turmeric, etc… Then I watched King of Kings 
Oh I have work in the morning lol I won’t get to see him until late tomorrow evening. But I miss him bunches! And very proud of myself!!!!
Write out the date, what happened, and how you handled it. Do this every time you beat a craving. Then, when an addicted thought tries to take over, read your notes and reflect on each word. This should remind you of all you have learned and provide you with success.
Be strong you got this 
Find a meeting
I did it all on my own ^^^^
Well, and God
I told myself, “fill a God-sized hole, with holy things”
I didn’t even binge on eating which sometimes I have done which just replaces one addiction for another so I’m really proud of myself! This was a huge step!
Blasted K-Love in the bath
Stayed busy and hydrated
Just journaled as was suggested.
It’s been an awesome night.
Thank you all for bringing here.
U should be. as addicts we are very hard on ourselves . I know for me it is hard to give myself credit for fixing the stuff I messed up . But with focusing on the good stuff . like u are doing has really helped me . Keep sharing the positive stories about how we can overcome temptations and stresses in our life stay blessed
Great advice Therese I shall steal it and use it myself aswell thank u
