Really wanted a boottle of wine today..

Yesterday was a really bad day. I told myself today I could get a bottle of wine,drink it,get buzzed,sleep it off in my truck and then go home.Heck, I've got all day to myself, who would know? But then I remembered the last 2 times I drank in Dec, they were epic failures! I would probably have to buy a second bottle of alcohol after I got buzzed and I'm sure after not drinking for over two months my wife WOULD know!So thanks to what I learned about myself during my last hospital stay and with SR's supportive group I'll make it through another day-sober.

Great job on bit giving in to your AV. I bet you feel a lot better this morning than any night you might've slept in your truck. Isn't it crazy the things we would do just to have a drink? But the good news is we no longer have to go those crazy, irrational things.

I hope you have a better day today, headcase. Bad days pass and chances are the next day will look brighter, if we don't drink. I'm glad you didn't.

Heck, I am craving a Miller light right about now....But the memory of my first sober week and the fact that I literally thought I was dying heavily outweighs the memory of any great night drinking..

Awesome job staying sober another day !

Good job HC, this is a positive thing. You stared down your AV and won!

Congratulations! Sometimes it's not day by day, but minute by minute. If I have the urge I find something to do and occupy my thoughts and body. Am lucky as the moment of desire passes and for that am greatful

I suddenly got wine cravings reading the subject line of this post...then I read further "drink wine...then sleep it off in my truck". After reading that line, it reminded me of when I slept off of the wine in the past, I'd wake up from a drunken stupor with the WTF? panic attack and my heart pounding away. The craving is now gone with THAT thought. Thank you for posting. I needed a reality check.
