Congratulations Jenners!
I have found (in my long 6 day journey!) that playing the tape til the end is really helpful during those cravings. The other day I was sooo close, and I kept thinking..where will this get Me? How will I feel tomorrow? Think of all you want in life, all that alcohol is keeping you from having..drinking now will only prolong your goals, your dreams. Talk like that got me through it. And believe me, I cried, I was MAD that I have to struggle over something like this.
Also, I know how my kids are so used to me buying wine and beer. I would always say something interesting when I grab it hoping to distract them so they wouldn't see me put in the cart- duh! And thinking of things we "need" as an excuse to go the store? Constantly! I have bought more crap we don't "need" just so I could go buy alcohol its ridiculous.
Anyway, I know how hard this is, but keep taking the comfort and advice you get from SR and it will get better and better, and easier!
