Evil thoughts on a friday night.
Hi all .I'm just passing - thought i would drop in . Im going through my usual Friday night syndrome of diverting my thoughts away from drinking.I'm almost 5 weeks sober and i need to come here just to touch base with you and basically feel like i need to answer to you if i cave.Ive taken myself off to bed and started playing words with friends and bloody candy crush sage . Oh my god !!!!! And what a saga it is ...if anything could drive me to drink it's this game . Now i need a friggen candy crush intervention! Oh well theres worse things ( or is there ) . They do say we replace one addiction for another ...sad ...but this is so shameful , i best keep it just between us until i find a sponsor . ....... Could be worse .....i could have a gazillion crops to harvest if i kept with farmville * faints *

Hi Tks , what was the meeting like ? Did you get anything good out of it ? Ive been contemplating going to one myself but always chicken out..i went a few times years ago but couldn't get into the apologising to everyone i had hurt through my drinking ;( the names would have been as big as writing the bible ....and i always felt awkward with the holding hand thing at the end

No holding hands, nor 12 steps, as it wasn't an AA format of meeting. But I think I should make it a regular Friday night date, because I think I'm more content with myself right now. I had even considered coming home and having a smoke (never been an addiction issue for me) but though to myself "why ruin the natural high", as mild as it is.
Instead I have put myself to bed, because its freezing cold in my city presently.
Go easy on the candy crush

there is no intervention for Candy Crush....I am on level 134.
However, i now really HATE chocolate (when you get to the plops, you will identify).
I have a separate game going on my tablet and another one on FB...double addictions.

Good for you for checking in - being vigilant in early recovery is important and you are on the right path! Remember, there is nothing going on out at the pubs that you haven't seen before. You're not missing out on anything, in fact you're gaining a lot of ground by staying away.

Hey, SnoozyQ, if you don't drink, you don't drink. Maybe get a little exercise, go for a walk, something like that. Or maybe you can face your desire to drink and say "NO". Do you need a drink right now? Are you having a drink right now? Maybe someone you care about needs you. Just don't drink any alcohol or take any drugs.

SnoozyQ, first congrats on your sobriety. Second, your post made me laugh. My daughter recently started playing candy crush, she is 24, and every time I see her she is staring at her phone. I jokingly said the other night that she needs to go to a meeting!
