My Close Friend Is A Trigger for Me....Day 5

[MommyDearest72]

Usually when I dont go to work (which is often) I start my day with my neighbor/best friend? We drink 2 22oz malt liquors and watch t.v...I have been avoiding her for the last 4 AF days and today shes here...drinking. But Im not...and I know at this point shes tipsy-not noticeably, but I know. She doesnt stress education and her children dont to go to school- they are teenagers. They knock on my door every 5 minutes and Im completely annoyed. I dont like this and thought staying away would do the trick. It hasn't. I miraculously dont want to drink it looks ugly. I am on Day 5 and didnt want to drink today-yet.

Hang in there, Mommy!

It is always interesting to me to see what drinking people look like when you're sober. It's eye opening, for sure. And they sure do look different - I find it an added incentive of where I don't want to be anymore. Use what you learn wherever you find it. Take care.

Hi MommyDearest- Is there something else you could be doing instead of letting her in to watch t.v? I mean can you go out to a store, museum, park, and change up this bad routine?
You are doing so well- keep up the good work- it's so encouraging to us to see your progress!
Luv, Fluff

I'm with fluff. Time for a new activity, one that gets you away. Congrats on Day 5. There is a lot more joy and excitement in life than can be had by zoning out every day.

Hang in there Mommy D!
Have you read the 'Toolbox' thread in monthly abstinence section? Some great tip's there. It's a big world out there, and we've got to get out there amongst it all, and take our life back.

Best wishes, and great stuff on your af time. Keep going, no matter what!
