I'm right there with u - I'm going to stay strong by just breathing through this and remembering where that first drink will get me: hung over, sick and making poor food choices.

Good for you coming on here for help and going to the meeting tonight. Cravings should subside much easier this way.

Ice cream
cereal and milk
chocolate
pistachios
raw veggies
fresh fruit
And Exercise or Walk.

start giving yourself some nutrition, it might help stop those cravings!

Go Cutie Go! Rock it out... I'm on day 9 here and feel like I'm about to loose my mind... Time for a dog walk. I think I'm about to binge on Pizza too... What ever it takes do it and be nice to yourself.

i had some pretty rought days int he beginning. found out i cant wear out the serenity prayer.

getting sober was the hardest thing i ever did in my life. staying sober has been easy and every single second i had to fight the craving, complusion, and obsession was worth it, so keep up the fight!! it will happen for you,too!

Congrats on your 7 days, Cutie. I remember the first couple days and they were really rough. My head was CRAZY. Once you take away my drugs and make me sober, my life gets hard. Being sober is uncomfortable! The only way I stopped struggling was to go through the 12 steps. It has been an awesome experience.
