Back again
Looking at my journal I notice that most of the time when I am on here pledging to quit drinking it is between September and April. Weird.
Anyway, I am back at square one. I have been drinking daily again for months. We lost our house to foreclosure and my wife had to take a paycut at work. Life is tough now and it makes me want to drink even more. But my daily habit is also hurting our pocketbook. I mean I only spend between 6 and 10 dollars a day since I drink the cheap shit but that still adss up to a couple hundred a month.
The other thing is my daughters are getting older (8,6 and 2) and I have not tried to hide my drinking from them. I know if I keep going this way it could lead to them having the same problems as me when they are older. Especially my 6 year old because she is really attached to me and tries to emulate me.
All I can do is take it one day at a time and today I won't drink.
