Temptation is back :(

I'm sat at home watching coronation street and just got a text asking if I want to go for a pint but I'm glad I told him no I'm staying away from pubs now, 2nd AA meeting tomorrow and I definitely need it lol

Good for you, Dan. Each time you turn down those situations you will feel stronger.

(Eastenders is on in 5 minutes - much better than a pint!)

Dan23.

Well done. Just by saying NO you are one step further in recovery. I kept saying NO to each and every temptation.

Be strong, its worth it!

Then it's coronation street again at 8.30pm

Much better being at home sober than out in rain, cold and drunk x

Did you tell him to stop drinking alcohol? Just say "I stop drinking for health reason."

Well done matey, today you managed to avoid it but posting on here shows maybe you was slightly tempted which of course you will be in early days my point is you need a mental defence against the first drink get a sponsor work the steps and then give it all away. Good luck and gob bless.

I think it's great you've only been to one meeting and you already feel like you need one. I was in bad shape when I stopped....I needed one everyday...It was the only place I could calm my mind down. It was like I was safe there.
