Woke up in terrible mood, jumped down my wifes throat over what I would give boys for breakfast. Now I am at work pissed off at every kid in my classes. I teach by the way. Wife not going to be home until late, usually a great day to drink without her knowing.

Sounds about right, for Day 4! Irritability! Don't worry, it will pass, so long as you don't drink... you're doing fine!

:lPaw- I'm sorry your day started out bad. Take the advice I got today...try to plan to do something else when you get home.....bake some cookies or something to offer your wife as an "I'm sorry I lost it on you this morning" gesture....maybe it will work out for you and her....you know what I mean:l Don't hold on the the bad mood......let it go....breath....breath......breath....
I'm day 3 and tomorrow is going to be bad for me..:l:teeter:JAMMS

Paw,
Day 4 is my hardest day. I don't know why. A lot of people have posted the same thing. I wonder what there is about it. I watched something on another thread, it's a tough watch. I'll post it here. It has made me rethink drinking completely. I didn't even do my usual "well, I've never been THAT bad" glory thought in my head. It just plain 'old got to me. It's in the General Discussion thread, here:

Take care, sign on later for support if you need to, ok? Let's not drink today. Maybe no one else will know but we will.

I can second (Becomings saying) that day 4 was the hardest.By day 5 I either felt better or I caved.Day 7 always seemed like a major landmark.Maybe it is the thought od a whole week AF that made me feel hopeful.After a month, it was like part of me changed.I think that the old saying that it takes a complete cycle of the moon, to break a habit, has truth in it.At least I felt that way.sigpicEyes on the PRIZE, a SOBER Future !!!Comment

Jamms, that a good idea about the gesture, not the right time of month for that if you know what I mean. I'm not good at letting my moods get better, but my kids at school are being really good today. Becoming- the worse aprt of being the closet drinker is she doesn't even know what is going on with me. But your right both of us will know we didn't drink. I will check out the thread. Thanks everybodyPAW:nutso:Comment

Breath ..... you can't be married to the biggest "B" in the world..my husband says he is!
A litle humor for you to try to calm down to. Whatever just went on is not worth drinking over. I know its hard....you can do it!:teeter:JAMMS

NO...You're doing great!!
Paw-
Happy to hear that you went to the grocery store. Thanks for the "your doing great" comment. It made me feel good:goodjob:
I too have to stop at the store on the way home from work today. My usual Thursday ritual..pick up kids, go to grocery store,then, go to liquor store...buy vodka, start to drink as soon as I walk in the door.
I'm feeling good so far today..not feeling the drink! Hope it stays that way. I'll talk to ya later

Funny balancing act icon. Do you ever feel like it's more of the routine then anything. Because I have ritual like yours for drinking. Just so much a habit to get the "devils brew" then the actual alcohol dependance. Stay strong. Today is going much better. Thanks again. Here's to AF's
