Good Morning all,
LH- Thanks for that reminder, "one day at a time"...my urge to drink lasted 3 days,
X-mas eve, x-mas day, and the day after, thankfully I did not succumb.
At times, the thought of never drinking again overwhelms me, too. But then I remind myself that I no longer find the "merriment" in drinking I once did. The "fun"of a drunken stupor is forever gone. Only misery, shame, anxiety, and guilt would follow. Another thought to Ponder is, "this too shall pass!"
It's amazing the affects alcoholism has on our brain. So true the words, "Alcohol is cunning, powerful, and baffling.
Shake it out- don't beat yourself up for craving or having the urge to drink, instead do as your name implies
and shake it out and don't forget to
praise yourself for resisting. These urges are going to come and go, because it's a part of this disease we all suffer from. BTW, 90 days! Woo Hoo!:day6
Hope-I like what you said to Jaz
you are right on when it comes to learnig from our slips.
Jaz- glad to see your back!

Time flies when you're typing...wish I had more of it.
Love to you all!
