Right?!?!?! :crazy But like you, I have found myself thinking the exact same thoughts many times and it always ends up in a bigger disaster. I am on day 8 too, the weekend is here, and that voice isn't far off in the distance but I'm determined to beat its @ss. Hope you do too!

MG hang in there. Don't know if this will help but a friend lent me some movies to watch (it's Friday night here) and I ate more than my far share of ice cream (saw this advice on another thread). It's getting late and the massive urge to drink tonight has passed so it looks like I'll be waking up happily sober again tomorrow

So yesterday afternoon I walked up to the liquor store with money in my hand to buy a bottle of scotch to "celebrate" my sobriety.
What an absurd idea.
This morning I woke up feeling amazing. I managed to muster up the courage to keep walking on by the liquor store and into the art store where I bought a canvas. Last night was spent having a great time working on a new painting. Sober!
I'm feeling pretty damn proud of myself today.
Have a great (and sober) weekend one and all!

Keep up the good work! I love doing artsy stuff too.
Forward we go...side by side-Rest In Peace

You must feel so good, I know I do. I actually thought of you this weekend, and hoped that you were doing OK. In a strange way, it helped me to stay sober, so thank you!
Congratulations on your sober time.
Now go back and read your first post you made on this thread. I've found that when things start going well it's easy to forget how bad they were. I need to remind myself I'm an alcoholic, lest I forget.
