Just checking in because I really want to drink.
I haven't wanted to drink in a while. Last night I had a dream that I guzzled down a bottle of beer and a glass of wine. When asked, in the dream, if I drank anything, I lied and said I didn't. Tonight is a crisp fall-like evening. The bugs are chirping outside, all the windows are open and damn, I want a Sam Adams seasonal brew right now. My SO is drinking one right now.. but the difference between him and I is he's had his first beer opened now for an hour and he isn't finished with it. Me? I could have downed 3 by now.
My life is so much better without that poison flooding my body. I wake up early, I haven't thrown up, no black outs, no guilt, no crying, no moodiness, and I'm saving so much money by just not purchasing that garbage. I've enjoyed the whole summer without it.. BBQ's, concerts, trips, baseball games, etc.. My life is better without it.
That's all from me. I just needed to write really quick to get it out of my system. Almost five months sober.. keep going..

I recommend reading old threads again Nikka.
We're different to other people...but we can start new summer traditions too
why not look around for recipes for yummy drinks - you could have a pitcher of thirst quenching home made drinks ready for the next bug chirping calm fall night

You are getting comfortable in sobriety and your AV feels it.
Flex those sober muscles and use all the tools we have learned here!
You are doing great by coming here and posting first before drinking. We are with you.

The longer you're sober, the less you'll think of drinking. The urge does go away in time.
