Tough Day

Today was a bad day at work. I soo badly want a glass of wine to relax, but I know I can't. I cannot ruin 26 days being sober. It's hard right now. I have a bottle of wine that somone got me for christmas right here in my house. I must stay away from it.

I know exactly how you feel. 11 days sober & having trouble, husband left me. Dump out all that Christmas "cheer"....you don't need it. It is marvelous what you have accomplished. I hope I get there.

If you are quiting drinking then getting rid of all the alcohol in the house would help. dump the bottle of wine down the sink. If you don't see any alcohol around the house you most likely wont have you mind on it as much. Just keep busy. when ever I was board that is when I would start to drink again.
I remember when I quit smoking cigarettes 20 years ago. When I first started to quit, I got rid of all the cigarettes, cleand the house, the car, my workplace of them. But I kept my cigarette lighter. Now why did I do that ? What did I need it for ?

The last time, when I finally quit, I got rid of the cigarettes, the lighter, the ashtrays, and drew the line on putting any of that stuff in my hands. Wouldn't even pass someones lighter or cigarettes to them.
