Any body else really struggling today?

[FreeforNow]

AF since Sept 2013, but recent relationship issues have knocked me down.

I know a drink won't help but today is hard

Anyone want to join me in a bit of mutual propping up?

Saw that you posted on here https://www.mywayout.org/community/ju...ity-party.html so you've made a good decision there, Softy.

Shops are nearly shut, the madness will be stopping for another year. Take some deep breaths and realise its only 24 hours. Get out for a walk, make time to rest and relax (I sense you thinking that's not effing likely) but give it a go. If possible don't eat too much at one time time and keep away from the drink. Hand on heart you'll thank yourself a thousand fold.

Bought six bottles of AF free Becks. I will fool myself and tomorrow be grateful my friend. I am a strong little fecker.

It is a battle for life this I'm afraid depression > alcohol

Hi, Softy:

I just went and spent WAY too much money on my favorite non-alcoholic Ginger beer, and appetizer from my favorite store. I am taking care of me today. I am with Jackie - out for a walk always helps me. Maybe download a meditation app and get inside your head for a minute?

Great for you, posting here. Stay strong, my friend. You won't regret it.

Thank you! I am meditating and on day 78 of that but couldn't quite still the mind today.

Each day we get stronger but some days we step sideways

Softy, hang in there today...no matter what.
Just read around MWO and you will quickly see the 1000's of people who wish they hadn't taken that first drink to ruin their quit. It is NEVER worth it.
NoSugar's thread, Relapse in Retrospect, is an excellent read!
An old boss of mine once told me, everyone goes thru hard times and its just YOUR turn. I thought he was being a smartass at the time, but he was 100% right. These hard times will pass and you will be SO happy that you maintained your quit thru them.
Hugs to you, stick close! Byrdie
