Today is Day ONE!????

Trapped - lots of support here. I hope you find your way. Do you think rehab would be worth considering? It may not be an option for you, but if you could do it between jobs?? Just throwing it out there.

BSB - can't attest to the near beer. I went cold turkey. Don't think it's going to replace the physical component of the real thing. Are you putting together a plan - exercise, diet, supps, etc?

Wishing you both the best.

Hugs,

HEY! Blow sb!! So glad to see you here, trying to find you're own way. As for me, I LIKE the taste of beer occasionally, but it REALLY depends on what you want from your drink. In the MEANTIME, sounds like you have a good guy there, ready to support you in you're own journey. Hard for me to make a real point, give advice, since I haven't seen much from you, but IF you have a good partener, willing to work with you, then hang on to him.! I don't know you, or him, but love I can tell you there are a lot of people here who just WISH someone would listen, try to understand.So, what can we talk to you (both?) about, how can we help you find your own comfort level? Great to see you here!!

he more or less just wants me to not drink for the money aspect of it. im wasting his money sort of thing ya know?
i get that...
anywho...
i have no plan. im clueless. im writing down every moment i feel stressed n want to drink, eventhough i always would wait till evenings to drink even if i felt the urge during the daytime.
i guess im just noticing i get stresed over so much, because i do have alot to stress about. and without the al to calm my mind and body in the evenings, im triple the wreck i ever was. its hard.
i have no friends to talk to, no family closeby, my husband just doesnt care that much..
i ahve a screaming toddler to deal with all day, all i want when i put her to bed at night is a freaking drink and a movie or music and to relax.
i havnt left the house in over 7 days. i just cant catch a break in life right now.
marrital sex has been non existent alos...prolly cause i am so used to doing it while drinking. i cant seem to want him sober, ebcause im fully aware of how angry he makes me and how worthless i feel..when i drink i dont think those things, so yeah. seems like not drinking is making everything worse.

HI bubbles i know you are having a bad time but trust me (and a lot of people will back this up ) DRINKING is making everything worse it might not seem like that but it is. Its not going to cure all your problems but you will be able to deal with them better and clearer in your mind. By the way it's such a waste of money

BSB - life is fraught with problems, but as Madmans says, the alcohol doesn't make any of them better. I wish you could get some counseling. Is that a possibility? If you could just accumulate some AF days, you would feel so much better. Have you been reading a lot on this site? Have you bought the MWO book? It's pretty inexpensive - I think $12-13 if you download it. Are you drinking lots of water with lemon, eating healthy foods, getting some exercise? Post questions if you want more specifics. Remember the Toolbox under Monthly Abstinence.
