Struggling today ! Will i or wont i ? :-/ sigh
Hi , i'm really struggling today , im 3 weeks sober and am having the worst cravings today. My worst day so far. I finished work and stopped out the front of the bottle shop. I waited and fought with myself.I finally mustered up the courage to start my car back up and continue the drive home. First time in 3 weeks i am alone in the house. I have taken myself off to bed as my hubby has just left for his night shift. Danger time ...... Do i go for the quick drive to the shop ...no ...it will end in disaster:-( ...i cant only have ONE drink ...i know that ...i just want tomorrow to be here already .
Snooz I can promise you this that the feeling you get tomorrow will be so empowering versus the 5 minute buzz followed by a WHOLE lot of guilt and regret. You can do this 3 week mark is when it started to hit me you will get stronger and stronger stay close to SR while you are craving its kept me sober nearly 4 months!

Hey Snoozy,
3 weeks is great going
Just don't drink for today , when you wake up tomorow then see where you are .
I always found delaying taking a drink for a day or two was a good stratergy that got me through many a tough day . Afterall when i started 20 hours out of 24 i didn't want to drink now it's 24 in 24 .. stick with it ..
Have you read about urge surfing ?
