lol...sorry...it sucks...just rest and get better..Drunkenness is just a nightmare you have to wake up from...:-)

7 days is awesome.
keep going;

thx it does suck, but im gonna try and keep going! its difficult when you live with people that drink everyday, to wake up seeing empty bottles all over and at night seeing the drinking go on and on everyday...its easy for me to give into temptation when its knocking on my door

Try to stay busy. work extra hours. Stay away from the drinkers as much as possible. Keep going with the streak. It will be worth it once you learn that you don't need to be drunk to enjoy life. Good luck

Well done!!

That sounds awful living with ppl who drink all day

im trying to stay busy and avoid the "witching hours" but i dont have a job, its very bad living like this, ive seen at least 3 of my relatives die from drugs/alcohol.... I dont wanna be #4!

you can do this..its hard..but not being #4....is easy if you just don't drink...go to meetings..and counseling...obviously counseling is not an option without coverage or a job.

I get it...typing here is good counseling...
Keep coming :)

haha it is helping i think, im almost to day 8 and thats a pretty good record for me considering the circumstances, mb i jus had enough finally idk

Would moving out into a better environment be an option?

not at the moment, until i can find a stable job....which isn't looking very good

Hopefully you will find something sooner rather than later. That's triple-whammy of stress -- getting sober, living with all of that alcohol around and job-hunting.

Are there any job clubs in your area? If you could find one, that would get you out of the house. You'd be around sober (hopefully!) people and at the same time network towards finding a job.

And no...you definitely don't want to carry on the family legacy.

Good luck!!!

i hope so too, plus add the stress of an alcoholic family member...its psychically, mentally and emotionally draining not to mention enabling :( ive got something coming up that might help, we'll see... ive never heard of a job club. ill have to look into that thx :)

Stay with it. In another week it will feel less like you've been hit with a brick and more like a rock, and not even a large one at that. :-)

I found going for walks helped. I also went to the local Barnes and Noble or library during my normal drinking time and I would read books on alcoholism.

Lots of water and exercise might help too.

A week is a great accomplishment!

Keep posting Whyzac, I'm new here also today is day 22 for me... They go by fast just keep busy. That is what I have to do now it is getting easier to relax and not think to much about a drink.
