Week 16 down and I am feeling hopeful. My husband was away for six days of week 16 and that would ordinarily mean that I would drink quite heavily. I had 20 units and 0 alcohol free days.
I have taken steps after my little break down weekend before last to keep my mood up. The supplements seem to be helping and I am forcing myself to interact more with others. I keep telling myself that this is a rollercoaster, and I think that is so on many levels.
I managed to flood our kitchen yesterday with water flowing into the basement. There was minor damage because it flowed to the unfinished side of the basement but it meant that most of our day, my husband's only day off, was spent cleaning up. Usually, I would turn to drinking after the clean up was finished, but I didn't. My husband went to pick up take out for dinner and in the past I would have helped myself to a couple of vodkas while he was gone, but I didn't.
I did have wine with dinner and it tasted great, but I find that when I have a third glass, I start to feel kind of crappy. Not drunk, just not well. It is hard to describe the feeling but I hope that it continues because it does take away the desire to continue drinking.
