Don't look now, but you're in the middle of your miracle this very minute Bea. You're questioning an urge to drink.
And you're looking for a way to fight the urge until it passes.
I hope that's not too simplistic an answer for you, and that you'll also fight the urge to throw a stapler or a chair at me
I've been told, and I also experienced it, that the third and fourth week in early sobriety can be difficult ones. I still get the urge for a drink sometimes, a few months sober now. I know people with multiple years that do as well.
There comes a moment, I'm convinced, for all of us, when we realize that a drink simply won't give us what we're looking for. That was the
miracle for me.
