I just posted that I made it to two weeks. And I'm very happy about that
But I want to share something that I had happen to me yesterday and the day before. Both times it was in the afternoon. Both times it was out of the blue.
I was craving beer. A sudden urge to find a beer, crack it open, and start in.
Now, that doesn't sound so strange for an alcoholic, right?
But, I don't like beer! I cannot stand it actually. I have not had beer in 20 years!
Wine has been my drink of choice for a very long time.
And the smell of wine on my friend's breath the other day smelled really bad, so I thought that was a good thing. I thought my brain was starting to get the idea that wine is bad for me, and not a friend to me as I had mistakenly thought, because friends don't mess you up like wine has.
But now two days in a row I have been craving beer. Weird stuff!
I could even taste it (in my head of course) And it tasted good, bubbly, cold, refreshing.
And the other strange thing about this craving is that I wanted it in the afternoon.
I never liked to drink in the afternoon!
I liked to drink in the evening, starting at dinnertime. Pour a nice glass of white and start in, and keep going until the bottle was gone.
And then the second bottle was gone too. And then wake up in the morning with a lovely hangover. Well, you know that drill.
So what is this strange new beer craving about I wonder?
Is it Av saying "OK, now you don't want to drink wine, and you hated drinking in the afternoon, so now we'll try something new. You don't like beer, so it won't be a problem. Go on, have a beer! It will be fine. It's not wine, so it's not a problem. It's not your problem. Wine was. Go on, have that beer. Taste how cold and refreshing it is."
AV is a tricky little SOB
