Wednesday night has always been beer night. I usually drink during American Idol. The show is halfway over, and I haven't cracked a beer yet. I'm really started to have bad cravings though and feel really anxious. I only have one more week of classes. I was told not to try to quit an addiction cold turkey during a stressful time that requires concentration. The withdrawal is distracting me from studying. It's finals week and I have no focus. I'm not asking for an excuse to drink or to take the advice I was given. I just need some support and advice.
Thanks guys. You are all wonderful and have become a part of my daily routine.
I'm on day 4 by the way!

Would you really study better if you were drinking?
Also I would consider anytime you are quitting an addiction a "stressful time that needs concentration".
And don't even get me started on American Idol!!

What's sad is...I was so used to it that I studied quite well while drinking. It seemed to cancel out all the excess thoughts and images in my mind. I'm not trying to justify it, just answering the question. I just don't know.
Grab a bottle of water or something to take place of that drink. I'm only 15 days in and that's what I've been doing. My biggest drinking time was during baseball games, and its baseball season! 162 games a year, a rarely miss any, so that was always 162 nights of drinking at the least. I'm watching the game right now with a bottle of water and feel OK. I've just recently had a bad situation happen that I'd normally want nothing to do but down an 18 pack and not give a flip about it.
But this time around I WONT. I know that I will just wake up regretting it, with Thor pounding his hammer in my brain, and still having the same problems, but with a hangover attached, and feeling much worse. Stress sucks, but giving in when you know you don't want to ( you wouldn't have posted here if you really wanted to, right?)
Stay strong buddy, you can do it.
