Feeling so much better...

Now that the overwhelming urge for a few drinks has passed I am feeling so much better and back to my regular happy self. I'm feeling much happier, energetic and relieved. Thank you all for the positive and encouraging posts on my earlier thread today, it was very helpful and lifting. I'm so energetic I'm half tempted to cook everyone at SR dinner. lol Please keep all dinner requests to American or Mexican cuisine as that's all I have experience in preparing and cooking (And from scratch if you like). Anyways, I'm so glad this has passed and I'm back to me again. Thank you all for being so encouraging and positive.
Wes

Way to fight it off Wes. In a small way it shows that having the support of SR at the exact moment that you need it can make the difference. It may or may not be as good for some as face to face support but it is probably the next best thing.
Keep at it Wes. Your positive attitude is a great inspiration for all of us.

Great job Wes...as alcoholics we don't have much practice fighting the urges...it's like building muscle it has to hurt a little to grow stronger! Stay strong.

Big hugs to you my friend! I'm glad you made it past the urge. I had a pretty intense urge yesterday so I know exactly how you felt. I will gladly accept a meal from you Wes because I'm the only chef in my house and I'm bored with my own cooking. How sweet of you to think of us :ghug3

Stay strong, have a good and sober night!

I really like that Sandy, it means a lot. It's a great scripture to look up and read. And it gives me a lot to think about. Thanks so much for sharing it with me.

Do you do Thai?

I'm also feeling quite a lot better, in a foul mood today, but that is more to do with having to deal with never having a weekend 'off' from the kids. Still, I have my kids so mustn't complain about that!

Hi Cof,
Glad to hear you're feeling better. Do you do breakfast? I'm thinking a stack of pancakes... aarrrggghhh - I'm headed back to the overeaters thread. I've got issues...
