I'm entering my third week.
I thought a few days ago that because I wasn't getting cravings I'd cracked this addiction thing and that was it. Well, I had cravings last night, quite bad ones. I didn't give in though. Tried a mindfulness technique, in your mind you just step aside from the thought of wanting a drink, observe the thought and see it for what it is, just a cognitive occurance in your head. I know I'm not out of the woods yet. Who knows, I may never be.
Anxiety comes and goes I've been diagnosed with GAD anyway and I thought drying out would ease it, but for me it doesn't seem to. I get paraniod about certain things atm it's the neighbours, they're ok but their daughter is horrible, she's moved out but I'm afraid she'll move back in again. there's no reason to suggest she will, but well I'm convinced life will get at me by making that fear come true. Quite honestly if it wasn't that it'd be something else. I AM NOT GOING TO DRINK THOUGH!
