34 hours Alcohol Free
Woke up to Day 2 after a terrible night’s sleep but here I am on an official Day 2. But I’m keeping it hourly for now. My goal is “never again”. But that sounds daunting and I’ve made that vow (and really meant it) countless times. Right now, at 34 hours, I KNOW I can get to lunch without drinking, which will be 40 hours. I can make it to lunch and I will not stop and buy alcohol. That’s my now goal. I’ll make a new goal then. For now, in this moment, these next few hours, I know I will not drink.
UPDATE: 40 hours in, still alcohol free. Next hurdle will be 45hrs to bed, so my plan is to work out, cook dinner (with whatever is in the house, no store for me!) and watch shows until it’s time to sleep.
UPDATE 2: 48 hours in and going to bed. 44-46 hours were white knuckling cravings and the voice telling me I could have one (ha) and I’d be fine (ha). But I’m safe for tonight. Tomorrow I’ll make a new goal and game plan. Thank you all very much for helping me and supporting me.
