Wanting a drink
Wanting a drink
All of a sudden I am really wanting to go home and drink. I mean it hit me hard. Stomach flip flopping mouth watering........ I'm on day 7 and I'm going to try and stay strong. Dang this hit me from out of the blue!

Hang in there Ladybug. I know, the feeling hit me hard too a little while ago. I went to the meeting and something agitated me at the meeting. I realize going to meetings and hanging around a bunch of other addicts is not always going to make you feel like roses. So anyway, I got home and just got back from a walk. Feel a little better. Might hit another meeting later. Whatever it takes to not pick up...
It always passes if we just let it happen and let it go along without the drinking. In these kind of times the best way forward is just meeting the challenge with knowing you can get to the safe and happy place again as the angst works itself out in a sober way.
Congrats on your 7 days!

I'm pretty sure they were before you starting noticing, but remeber this is about you
Doesn't matter what anyone else is doing, unless of course it is the driver of the bus, let them all ploink away

Hang in there! You can do it! I am only on day 9 but my 6th day was the hardest. Here is what I did. I took a detox bath. (Epsom salt and baking soda) and I added B-Complex to my multi vitamin. For some reason it seemed to help me. So, just a thought!
I made it thru day 7. There was a close call for a moment today but I made it. I don't think I've made it past day 5 in a very long time. Thank you all for hanging in there with me today. I haven't shared this journey to be alcohol free with anyone but you all here and even though we've never met I rely so much on you all. Thank you 🌺
Cravings can be really uncomfortable..... to me, it was like having some kind of temporary insanity. For a brief period of time, I'd be totally convinced I needed/wanted a drink and then, usually within the hour, my sanity would return.
Coming here and just reading helped a lot (eating something, too). Good job getting through day 7! It really does get better!

I was having a really hard time on day six, and I realised something, every time I have slipped, its been related to my cycles. I apparently have very little control during oms, now that I recognise this, I have regained the power..
