hello AV I’ve been expecting you
Day 7,all going well until I clean out my fridge and in the back found an unfinished bottle of wine with about a glass left in it. It went down the sink, but not without the AV voice coming through so loud and clear, ‘one glass won’t hurt’, ‘nobody needs to know’, ‘c’mon you know how good it tastes’.
Sitting here I don’t feel like I won any kind of battle, I still have strong cravings. I know it will pass, but I have tears in my eyes just typing this. Thanks for listening.

Hi scotty - everyone has thoughts of drinking or cravings initially. Early recovery isn't about never having those feelings - it's about having the feelings and staying sober anyway
things do get easier tho I promise
In the mean time there are some great tips here

Pema Chodron says nothing ever goes away until it has taught us everything we need to know.
You needed to know you could pour it down the sink.
Bravo You!!!

It's all about the moment between stimulus and response, the power in is that moment. The AV never really goes away, but it's all about one's response to IT. When I have those thoughts, all I do is acknowledge they are there, but never, ever act on them.

You did win a battle! You're fighting a war. Many battles to come, but I know you can win each one. Keep fighting.

YOU would know and YOU are the only one that matters.
You are flexing those sober muscles!!! Good job!
I’m so glad that you came here and posted to talk it out. I find that that really helps me.
Hope to see you around.
