Charliee

Feeling so much better physically, but really down in the dumps today. Don't really know why, so what's my first thought.... Seriously?!?! So stupid and I'm at the store by myself. Help

Get the food forget about the beverages. Don't throw two weeks away.

Hey I bet that 2 weeks wasn't that easy to achieve! You don't really want to do it all again. Get something lovely to eat and soft drinks, you'll be glad you did.

Congrats on two weeks!

Taking that first drink is only going to lead to more drinks and more unhappiness. Don't do it! Think that first drink thru to the bitter end, to where it will lead. Buy some ice cream instead. Ice cream is a wonder drug.

Hang in there and don't be afraid to post every minute if you have to. A thought is just a thought, it has no real power on its own. Remember you do not have to take that first drink no matter what. The craving will go away, as will being in the dumps. You're in my thoughts and prayers...

Hi Charliee, sometimes moods like that just happen along, but you can get past this.

I chucked two weeks out the window and regret it, keep going. Im back on day 5, 9 behind you!

Charliee

Got my food and of course my ice-cream and I'm out! Thanks for the kind words guys and Casey thanks for the prayers, I love that, as I often feel alone in this and I appreciate someone thinking of me

I hit a rough patch late yesterday afternoon, so I texted a sober friend. I know I'm insane when my thoughts start going that way and she helped bring me back to my senses, but I also know I have to do it right away before that kind of thinking goes too far for me.
And yay for ice cream!

I can tell you from experience that ice cream will definitely help.

Charliee so awesome that you have two weeks!!!!! Stay strong and face the feelings/emotions......trust me it will make you stronger in your sobriety. I spent so much of my life trying not to feel. It is tough at times and exhausting, but I am alive and real and with each day I am sober I get better and better at doing this life thing.

I felt the same around that point and I'm not much further than you after 24 days. I tend to forget how bad things were while drinking and think I'm ok to drink again. Have you made a list of reasons why you chose to stop drinking? I made a list and I just look at it when I get the urge to go back to that lousy lifestyle as a reminder of why I'm better off without that lifestyle. Good luck!

Great job on achieving two weeks!
So glad you did not act on your impulse.
Ice cream does the trick for me!

Great job Charliee. You're not alone in this journey. 2 weeks is awesome and it does get easier with every day that passes.

You are a strong person and have made it this far... keep going. You won't regret staying sober today.

Just keep the ice cream stocked up!

Hi, Charliee! That kind of thought is just a thought, so tell it "so what?" and don't give it any more attention.

Sobriety takes practice every day -- and that was an opportunity to practice.

Good job on continuing to walk your sober path -- you can do this!

Well done, Charliee!

I've always found that when I face down a difficult situation like that, it strengthens my sober muscles considerably!

Fantastic Charliee!! Keep it going!!
