Hey, I'm here too! Staying busy is good, really helps :) I'm busier than I want to be lately but it's probably a good thing, not as much time to get into trouble and keeps me off the streets and out of the stores!
Sorry I just noticed that message now. I hate to hear that you are having a hard time. Please don't give in to that fantasy! Stay strong, do this for you and your family! You are worth it! Work through the program and stay focused! Get mad at the alcohol and tell it to never bug you again!
I'e been checking in from time to time but not motivated to write. I'm trying not to let my urges get the best of me but it's getting harder lately. Too much stuff going on (with work, school, and family), and it's only going to get worse in the next weeks. To answer your question, I'm staying sober in my spare time because I have next to no spare time. It's a horrible way to live but at least I don't really have any tempting situations to deal with. I would love to just give in and go on a week-long binge, but that fantasy will have to wait for at least a few more weeks.
I hope you're staying strong and finding a better way to stay sober than I am.
Just wondering where everyone has been lately? I'm still battling my urges with alcohol and I haven't heard much from all of you here. What have you been doing to stay sober? What have you been doing in your spare time? How have you gotten through tempting situations?
