Ok, I'm shaky: I am having a really bad time. I had a real
shock over something yesterday and I had wine with dinner. Then today a phone call to say a family member had died, so an unplanned trip out of town and a gruelling funeral tomorrow. I had to cancel my 'me' trip away later this month (a no drinking reward - retreat) with all my parents health issues piling up. And right now, not drinking feels like really hard work. More than I can deal with, on top of the load. I didn't drink in the airport lounge. I won't drink when I get 'home' tonight (2nd base). But I don't know about tomorrow. I really don't.

Oh Quake - :l:l:l I am so sorry. I am just so sorry.
Such a hard time for you. I am sending you lots of positive thoughts.
I do want to tell you to try to hang on. Avoid the alcohol as much as you possibly can. I fell into that trap earlier this year when we had so many deaths in the family. It didn't help anything and it was hard to pull myself back out of it. Try to come here & post - come here for support. I pulled away from MWO during that period of time. It is better to stay close even if you're drinking. Stay here with the support.
My thoughts are with you. :h"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett

Thanks, Nora - I so appreciate your support. Funnily enough, I got 'home' from the airport (I miss my kids SOOOO much( and I am so tired, I have just rinsed out a dress for the funeral, thrown it into the drier, and fallen into bed. Wine is the last thing I want.
But tomorrow will be hard. I keep thinking about something I read here, that somebody said: that they never regretted NOT drinking. But there were many times they regretted drinking.
It would be better for me to stay AF tomorrow. The funeral is a long drive in the morning..a long day...and a long drive back again. Already, I am not feeling great about that many hours on the road. Even a couple of glasses of wine would be enough to take me down many notches...and I am already so tired.
So I won't drink tomorrow. There we have it. It will be a hard enough day, without knocking myself around some more.
Thanks, Nora. I will stay close. I won't let myself skulk away and hang my (metaphorical) head in a corner somewhere. Thanks xComment

Sorry, Quake. Sounds awful. Don't be too hard on yourself- the universe isn't gonna stop being an asshole just because you are trying to stay sober. Dust yourself off.. Don't think too far ahead, nobody alcoholic or not can promise anything about tomorrow. Take it slowly and deliberately- I wish you the best. You can do this.Comment

Thanks Nora, Tom and Lizann - I DID IT! 12 hour funeral day, and not a drop of alcohol passed my lips. Then when I got home, exhausted, quick pizza out with soda walker. I have my butt firmly planted back on the wagon
How's everyone else getting on? First week nearly done and dusted now!Comment

Good job, Quake. Once we get the drinking thing out of the way we can focus on the obscene amount of pizza you seem to eat. I'm doing well, day 60 something without booze and this is day 9 since ending my klonopin taper early and I feel better than I have in a long time. It was 4-5 days of hell but I'm very glad I did it, I feel proud and that is hard to come by.Comment

Quake - GOOD JOB!!!! :goodjob:
Tom - you are sounding good. My cousin said that getting off of those was the hardest thing she had ever done. And she had been on Speed! So, congratulations. :l"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett
