Hi. Day 3 for me. I spent most all of yesterday on SR. I decided to go back and read threads from years past. So many of them were very helpful and inspirational. So many were eye opening and others were just too much like my own life. It was odd to see that people were mirroring my current life more than 10 years ago.

Last night the craving was there. I read how others relapsed and it actually crossed my mind that this was a normal thing; if I have a drink I’m just following what some others on the site have done (now that’s sick thinking). Wow, did I have to fight those cravings! I was successful though this time. Odd, I even had to go out to the grocery store last night and did NOT stop for a bottle!!! It was only one night, but for me that’s a major accomplishment!! I was very happy to have combated that normal action on my part!

I am still struggling with sharing what’s going on with me. I am still struggling with the fear of disappointing the people on this site that I have so much respect and regard for. I’m continuing to try.

My prayers go out to us all….those who have overcome this disease and are on this site to help others as well as those of us who are still suffering and struggling with overcoming the disease. I ask that you all keep me in your thoughts and prayers for the strength to stop this deadly disease.

Thanks for listening.

Three days is great! The fourth was always a killer for me. Then, I would think about the misery drinking would bring and that helped. Plus coming here and hitting an AA meeting.
It only gets better, and remember that you never have to drink again.
