Glad you are posing Hadmyshare. You aren't wasting anyone's time... that's what this site is for, to help one another beat this addiction.

Great job on day 4!

What's your plan going forward?

Welcome back hadmyshare
what's your plan this time?

hadmyshare

I'm still sober.
Obviously had some major temptation today / yesterday but I beat them.

Thank you for the extra support.

Onwards to day 6.

hadmyshare

I got some blood work done today. Going to check liver enzymes

Being in this position sucks.

But it could be worse.

At least I still care

least

Congrats on six days sober. Keep on keepin' on.

hadmyshare

Thanks

Yes most success I've had in a while. On to day 7!

hadmyshare

Still going strong. Either I got my day count wrong or this is day 8!

Anyways to stomach aches have mostly passed and now I actually feel great.

That artificial high one gets when your body rids itself of alcohol...

Good luck and its great that you are trying to beat this. This place is amazing and has helped me a lot

hadmyshare

On to day 9.
The extra encouragement helps!

I have been going along pretty smooth so far and have not missed it too much so far.

I will be afk for this long weekend but I am optimistic that I won't drink.

hadmyshare

Day 13! Having a hard day.
Wishing I could have a stiff drink.

Glad I am not.

Still so hard!

Keep at it hadmyshare. 13 days is great. Do you have a plan to deal with the urges?

hadmyshare

Right now my only plan us to post here and not drink.

Any advice?

I'm sure you've probably been directed here before but I'll post it anyway:

I would just suggest having a plan in place for the next time you have an urge to drink. Many of the things on that list can help you with that. Obviously a recovery support group could be of help but there are a lot of other tools on that thread to help.

For me, it required some pretty big changes in my daily living habits and routines. Obviously getting some sober time under your belt will help.

You're doing great so far but from reading this thread from the beginning I think you are aware of the challenges.

Day 13 is awesome! That's one more than myself. Keep posting and I encourage you to join us in the Class of May 2015 thread on this same forum.

P.S. I also had my share. And my neighbor's share. And your share. And anybody else's share I could get my hands on.

hadmyshare

Thanks for all the help. On day 14 now.
I will read the link and develop a plan. Sounds lime a good proactive measure

hadmyshare

Today is turning out to be more difficult than expected. I have a craving for Beer with a certain unhealthy, salty food.

*sigh*

Maybe I could substitute the Beer with a Soda?

I know that I don't want all the other beers that come with one.

CaseyW

That's a definite truth there. ^^^^

Try the soda. Try taking a walk. Try going to an AA meeting. Try reading some more on here. Try whatever it takes. Keep posting here every minute if that'll keep you from drinking that beer. Wishing you the best!
