Greetings
Hi everybody. First post and I'm on day 13. No wait, I had one drink on NYE so I'm on day 9. I turned 50 in November and always drank regularly, no real horror stories but definitely some regrets. I kind of don't feel like I'll never drink again, but know that I should work on being sober one day at a time. My focus for 2016 is family and to get in shape (want to lose about 35 pounds).
Anyway I decided to post because for the first time I'm having strong cravings today. There's a bottle of vodka my wife bought in the house and 8 beers. NFL playoffs starts soon so those would be nice.
Are there particular threads members go to when the urge to drink hits?
Well writing this has helped, I'm going to go lift some weights and then get on the exercise bike. I'm enjoying this sober life so far and want to keep it up. I know I'll be happier tomorrow and everyday.
