hey sazza - so glad you posted and didn't pick up that drink. Those urges can be really strong and even scary. Thank goodness they continue to weaken as we stay sober.
I had several of those "wants" over the holidays (my first Christmas, too), but they didn't last nearly as long (at over 7 months sober) as the ones I had earlier in sobriety. Some were just passing thoughts. I really feel for people who are new in their sobriety during this time.
If you keep getting those urges, just do what you did - come here, post and read and know that we're all getting through this together. You can do it!:ghug3
