Day 15 complete!!

However as i was finishing all my house chores ready for work tomorrow i had the weirdest feeling, i wanted to go and buy 1 koppenberg fruit cider !! My fortay has never been cider but i have drank this before just one here in there normally summer time
The feeling was having it with lots of ice and to sit in the garden ?!
First thought of drink since i tipped it away 8/4/17 (am)

Is this normal? It passed quickly and i had no intentions to go and buy any whatsover


Just strange

Hope everyone is well, and well done to all for another sober weekend

Completely normal. Happens to most of us. They always pass though gets easier as you gain more time. Way to stay strong!

I crave still a bit.

Certain times, feelings etc.

Today I craved a coffee though.

I made a nice sudo ice coffee after 40 minutes on the treadmill.

Thanks.

Congratulations on 15 days!! I agree, I think most of us grapple with craving at some point. That was how I relapsed last time - I thought since I had maintained sobriety for several months, I could finally moderate and control. Nope - one sip and I was off to the races as usual.

For me, when I get an urge, I immediately call someone. If no one is available, I do something to replace the idea of drinking.

I don't know if I'll ever fully get past the cravings, but I know I have to take action when I get the idea in my head!!

Cravings and thoughts....oh yeah way normal. Great to hear they passed before becoming a nasty temptation.
