Addicts hit meetings when they crave hard. The meetings replace the drinking.
This place replaces the drinking for me.
Ive been on vacation for a week or so, have 3 weeks left.
I was cooking this morning and my wife had an old bottle of wine sitting on the counter.
Back in the day, I could chug the whole thing. I would gag a bit, but then it would be down. Then I might get some more. Then I would pass out. Wake up.... have a horrid hang over, feel weak, and be loaded with guilt and anxiety.
I would sit around thinking of reasons to drink again. Mostly because I was on vacation...no not really..i was heavily physically and mentally addicted
I grabbed the bottle and motioned like I was going to pound it, then set it down and laughed. I don't drink anymore.
Yes!
I am drinking a cup of coffee here....at 6 pm.
Probably not the best move, but 1000x better than drinking a neurotoxin that nearly cost me everything.
I accomplished so much today. It was amazing. The old me would probably be wasted and accomplished nothing.
Stay clean team.
Thanks for the post.
