About to finish day 5....

Craving super bad tonight. It's driving me crazy. I have been to meetings all week and the first couple days weren't hard Ofcourse, but day 3 I started struggling. I know I'll regret it tomorrow if I drink but I'm so uncomfortable right now. Why is this so hard

Hang in there! I felt the way you are feeling now and I clutched my computer like it would save my life - posting and reading here to get through it. Try riding it out. Urges pass even though it doesn't feel that way. Last week I had the same thing happen. I was standing at my back gate, coat on, keys in hand, ready to go buy wine. I stood there for seemed like forever while I debated with myself. I think I even broke a sweat. In the end I didn't go. I thought how great I would feel in the morning without a hangover. How far I had come. You can do it.

I find eating ice cream helps me. Or a diet soda. Just no caffeine.

I can't believe how well drinking a cold soft drink works for my cravings. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just dehydrated and I mistakenly think its a craving.

well done on 5 days, I know its not easy
look after yourself
maybe a good multi vitamin, lots of water, fruit and veg
I am a big believer in good nutrition, its our life source and I know when I drink that was pushed aside
Keep yourself occupied, I read loads of books on addiction, mostly autobiographies
watch stuff on line, etc
there are links on this forum to books and film suggestions

It is hard...but thats why we have places like SR

I wasn't used to feeling uncomfortable at all - I hated it...but I soon learned it was nothing to be afraid of, and I learned to change my routine a little...there's nothing worse than just sitting there feeling uncomfortable...

stay strong...feelings are just feelings...get past them and it gets easier and easier - I promise
