12 Days Sober...Getting Harder?
Hi,
I am a newbie who really needs help.
Due to binge eating and drinking (8 beers twice a week) I put on weight and decided to try a very restrictive diet which does not allow any alcohol. I was shocked to discover that I do not miss food at all, only alcohol. I am reading several books on recovery and spending lots of time on this wonderful website, but my cravings are getting harder to overcome. My thoughts seem to always return to how great it would be to have a drink. My wonderful husband is on this diet with me an I would hate to cheat and let him down, but if it weren't for that I am pretty sure I would have cracked already.
When oh when will these obsessive thoughts subside? I do not want to be a dry drunk full of stinking thinking. Will I ever enjoy life again?
