I'd be sitting or standing somewhere and out of the blue--whomp--a killer desire to drink. An almost urgent panic driven obsession. I white knuckled a few, but then got a little guidance. I immediatly asked God (insert your HP here) to releive the obsession. Once I asked to relieve the %^$%^@%ing obsession. You know he did. The hard part is remembering to do this when the sickness hits. That is why I try to be spiritual all the time. To be on guard for the alcohol bats.

This is why if i am sitting watching TV reruns and a meeting is going on, I try to get up and go--even if I don;t need it. I'm trying to fill the spiritual emergency kit up.

Today I celebrate 60 days sober. This is a true miracle. Me, Meg hasn;t had a drink in that long. Wow. I am going to grow old in this program one day at a time with my friends, and make about a million more along the way.

When the squirrels are chewing on your brain, and it is real. Try to have a mantra--Don't Drink, Go to meetings and pray.

PS these feelings helped me with the first step too. Apparently non alki's don;t get these "attacks"..


Love

Thanks Meg - Great analogy. That's one of the best descriptions I've heard of how it feels. Congratulations on the 60 days, and thanks also for the good advice.

Never Never Never feel bad about a craving. It's a part of what we are. Doens't mean you're not doing it right. My sponsor said to me.

Something I tell my son, If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
