Nasty little cravings

Well I guess they had to come and come they did on day17 had to go to the grocery store and that nasty AV telling me your not an alcoholic that's silly you just like a couple of beers after work why are you denying yourself go get a couple of cans.......no get a six pack.....well you might as well get six tall boys three tonight three tomorrow Lies Lies Lies.Realy the truth is why don't you go back to getting p****d every night and falling asleep at 7pm...why don't you back to being a prisoner every night ....why don't you go back to spending a car payment every month on booze...why don't you go back to cracking a couple of cans a 3 cans because your dehydrated... why don't you go back to drinking at 7am and being drunk and tired by 11am and try to sober up before your wife comes home...yeh that's realy living how good is that 60 and p*****g your life away in a boozy haze.If you've experienced that AV you know how persuading it can be.Made it through though one day at a time to all tks for support dear God keep me sane and sober tomorrow......Sorry for the rant but feel so much better........

Way to put that AV in it's place man. You've built some sobriety muscles. Good job!

Those cravings can become quite a nuisance.
But, staying on the road to freedom makes those calls from the past slowly disappear.
So glad your strong minded and kept working towards the goal.

I used to say that. Just a 6 pack. Then well I may as well get tall boys. I know exactly how that game goes.

You did an excellent job playing the tape all the way to the end. I like how you realize that it would not be three tall boys a night. You're like me and would get trashed. Great post.
