My upcoming 'test' no longer feels that daunting
I've been doing very well with my recovery in that I don't want to drink anymore. But I'll be having my baby soon and had a fear in the back of my mind that all the urges would come back.
But I really don't think they will. I know the last time I was pregnant I spent 9 months rationalizing how I'd be able to magically moderate. But this time I have no thoughts of moderation at all. I really don't want to drink ever again. Even if someone told me I could take a pill and I'd never want more than 2 drinks... they can keep it. They can shove it
I still read here every day. I don't ever want to forget.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I mean - I don't think the urges will come back as a function of delivering the baby 
I'm sure I'll have another urge to drink in my life.... I am an alcoholic after all.

Having those kinds of thoughts seems normal to me. I wonder what it will be like in a few years when my recovery doesn't seem so "urgent." Will I find myself drinking again? It's happened before.......
In a way, though, knowing that I went back to drinking after being sober for a while is helping me stay motivated. I think you're working hard and you're going to do fine! Just having that little bit of doubt/fear will keep you on your toes (as will that new baby!)
Great post!

I got sober a few months before I found out I was pregnant with my son (now 17 months old!), and wondered about that too.. I mean he was a pretty darn good reason to stay sober, of course, while pregnant. Well, like I said, he's 17 months old and I have yet to have an urge to drink. I'm too darn happy.. and busy.. and I busted my butt working on my recovery.
Congrats to you, stay in close touch with your recovery tools, and with us. It's such a blessed time, I promise you'll never regret not drinking
