Okay, it's been like 4 days since I had a drink. There is nothing on tv and my partner, like usual, holed up in the bedroom like forever drinking. I'm sitting in the living room with nothing on t.v. I'm so sick of holding this damn iPad, but there isn't anything else to do!

I just went through a couple of hours where I was thinking of drinking. I've been doing good for the first 3 days. I was offered drinks earlier today and I turned them down because if I took one I'd be hitting the liquor store before I got home.

So, we took an alter vote on drinking and most everyone voted "no". So I think that sealed the deal. It sux being home alone in a house full of people.

End of rant. Feeling much better. Thanks!

Good on ya for hanging in there & turning down the drinks. When I first stopped it was a daily struggle to put the plug in the jug, but it gets easier. It's easier to stay stopped than it is to get stopped again. I wish you continued good luck.
