Had a brief moment of craving...

I cleaned my house from top to bottom today, and as I sat there looking around at my nice orderly house, I was struck with the notion that it would be so nice to have a drink. Hubby and daughter were out, and that is when I really used to enjoy (or so I thought) drinking.

Isn't it ironic that looking around at the neatness and orderly state of my home made me crave the one thing that would turn it on its end again???

Glad it was a fleeting idea, and I went about enjoying my day:-)

That addictive voice of ours is always trying to tell us it is okay.

Good for you Dolly! It gets easier each and every time you don't give in.

Thanks all. It surprising when these cravings have hit...not at all when I would expect. I have been in a bar quite a few times since I quit more than 3 months ago, and I never had a craving there. It's been at times I didn't expect...like today after cleaning out of the blue.

I wonder why that is? Perhaps I "arm" myself better going into situations where I know there is booze.?

Hmm...just a thought. Either way, this shows me I need to always be cognizant of my addiction and its power.
