Feel very stressed and low today. Having problems with a house purchase that does not look like it's going to go through meaning we have to move out of our current house and town resulting in uprooting settled children.
Before having children I used to drink when stressed and had a bit of a problem, now only drink about once a year. Today however, I feel I need to drink. I'm working from home and have spirits in the cupboard, I know I shouldn't but very very tempted.

- Pour the alcohol down the drain. Don't keep it in the house if you're vulnerable. Just don't ever keep it in your home!
- Don't drink.
- You'll hate yourself.
- It'll fuck you up.
- You'll be back to square one.
- Go out and buy sweets and chocolate or something else.
- Do not take that first drink.
- And once again - don't keep alcohol in your home. If you keep it in the house for a partner, DON'T. Your sobriety is more important. They should support you on that.
20 years sober this year.
