Tell us what happens when Pam drinks. Be honest. How was life going for you before? Think the drink all the way thru. Is it just a drink, or does it bring a bunch of 
along with it??

Do yourself a favor and DON'T!!!! You will be glad you didn't tomorrow morning. Why would you want to bring back the problems your try to get away from. Stay strong Pam.

I leave work, buy a pint, drink till it’s gone and I am shitfaced, pass out about 9:00 pm get up the next day wondering what in th he!! Did I do last night because I can’t remember. Wow, thanks for the reminder. I hate to wake up not knowing what I did the night before
Yeah, that “drink” that we make sound so good, is the freakin devil in disguise! That doesn’t sound like fun

Pam, find something else to do to fill that void. Do you have any hobbies? If not, start one. Start at a gym. If you do nothing, the void will suck you in, and the demon will be waiting for you.

Yeah, I gotta think it all the way through Pam, all the negative stuff that comes out of “a drink”… you can do it, one moment at a time. Distract yourself with something, eat some sugar it helps. Fill your belly with some food, that also helps with cravings especially if you drank on an empty stomach

Kathleen has a good suggestion Pam. I go to a 5:30 meeting after work. It’s my reward after work. It’s my happy hour. If that’s your time to drink, replace it with a healthy alternative

Friend me Pam. I think we have similar early recovery going on. Had long stretches. But struggling as of late.

Stick with your daily routine that doesn’t include alcohol. Force yourself. That’s what keeps me on track. I don’t have time for alcohol bc I’m busy with my normal routine
