A drink will not make this moment better. It will not take away the fear that is building within me this morning; and it would only make matters worse. So what to do. I need a meeting but right now I am at work so I will have to wait

Hang in there!! Xx

Fear always made me drink and guilt. It will pass. Go to a meeting tonight, that might give you some focus.

Hi.
It was suggested to me early on to try thinking of non drinking thoughts. That helped me many times in the first month as the desire for a drink usually doesn't last long.

BE WELL

Well said,

Just remind yourself of all the hard work you have put in and how great things will be, it will get easier.
Have a coffee.

All the best

It helps if you can separate yourself from these thoughts as they pop in. Since you've decided to never drink again, it is clear that they come from a part of you that doesn't call the shots anymore. Since this part has no power over your decisions, you can look at it and get back to whatever you were doing..

You have decided to never drink again, haven't you?

It's good that you have the recognition that you do and since you couldn't physically get to a meeting you posted here. That's what helps success!

Thanks for your support and thoughts. This morning I have prayed. The most heartfelt prayer in a long time. At this moment before I leave my car and walk in to work....I feel a little better than when this moment was yesterday.
