Oh bother
Hi again,
Having shot my mouth off last week about not having any cravings on Thursday and Friday, the cravings have suddenly reappeared. I haven't had a drink yet - this is day 12 since the last relapse. But every thought today seems to be captivated by alcohol. There seems to be an image lodged permanently in my brain of an ice-cold bottle of beer, and I just can't get rid of it.
I feel a bit like I'm trying to climb a mountain. The summit is "Sobriety", with lots of beautiful views over the surrounding scenery. Lots of wonderful people already at the summit are throwing me ropes as a kind of life-line and are trying to pull me up. But below me, further down the mountain, there's this horrible monster, in the shape of a bottle, which has got hold of my ankle and is trying to pull me down.
Oh bother...
:help
