My husbands been so supportive. He threw away his beer (he drinks a different kind) because of how drunk and mean I was. Sometimes I wonder why he is with me

Getting through the night alone is easy. First get some sort of a workout in, then eat a meal and shower up, then read a book or watch some TV, or surf this forum and go to bed early.

I have been doing every night sober for over 2 years, it's simple, don't make it harder than it is.

That is my life too now, serene and easy and uncomplicated ......we do tend to over think everything.

overthinking it....that is SO TRUE
Once I jump off the hamster wheel and have a couple of nights AF under my belt, I realize how much NICER it is to watch TV (and remember what I watched), read a book (impossible drunk) and go to bed early and actually SLEEP rather than pass out. It is really wonderful.

It's hard. I realized that I was drinking when I had to make hard phone calls, deal with disappointment, and address loss. so now that I no longer have the crutch of drinking...what do i do. the shame and disappointment is hitting harder than ever. I have a hard phone call coming up today. i don't know what to do.

Day 5 now. It's been hard. But I've done it. I postponed my difficult call until 11:00 this morning to deal with it. I didn't want to drink before or after it. Thank you everyone for being there for me. I really appreciate it.
