It's terrifying! Logically, I find it insane that I am scared that alcohol is gonna "get" me but it ALWAYS catches me off guard on this day. Once I get that craving or obsession it's like I'm being pulled under the ocean by a strong current and can't get out.
Does this sound familiar? Does anyone have advice? My normal drinking pattern is every several days starting about 4:45 with a 6 pack and then off to a bar to drink to oblivion or until something really bad happens. I hate alcohol! It wants to kill me!
I HAVE to make it through today!!!

Today is my first day I have made it to day 5 a few times before. I'm not letting this thing beat me this time I am not giving in. I appreciate your post makes me feel like I'm not alone.
