Days 1-30: Hello Sober Living

hello day 5, nice to see you again.

had my normal afternoon craving yesterday, but popped an L Glut when I got home then stayed busy through the evening and made it through. Cravings are already less strong, so that's good. however, I am currently still a bachelor and won't go get my family till the weekend. I'm not making an excuse, I'm just saying they are a trigger. Will have to stay vigilant when I go get them.

Just gotta keep remembering it's not deprivation, it's freedom.

You are doing great roamer! What's your plan for the weekend? What does your family do that's a trigger?

Days 1-30: Hello Sober Living

just the craziness of everyday life. screaming kids, running around, wanting an easy way to relax at the end of the day. I've used AL as a coping mechanism for so long, I don't know how to relax without it.

Roamer, it took me awhile to realize that I had forgotten how to relax without that glass of wine. You will get lots of ideas/choices if you google relaxation strategies.

holy crap, it's day 7 already. Mr 6 tried talking me into a drink too, but his argument was weaker than Mr 5's.

It's like coming out of a haze, being sober.
