Hang in there....move through the cravings, knowing that they won't last forever...This too shall pass! Fight your AV and play the tape forward. Don't let your AV take you back to day 1. 29 days is awesome! Keep going.

Weekends were always hard for me too in the beginning. Once I made it through a few sober weekends, filled with activities, it got easier.

Thanks CT.. Much appreciated..

It is hard! Very very hard, especially around that 1-2 (3-4) month mark.

Hang in there, I try to use it as a reminder of what I was doing to myself.

I'm romancing the drink

meanwhile the drink wants nothing more than to see you doing a face plant, in a muddy puddle, in broad daylight.........pretty romantic...........eh?

You can get through today! Think of how much more productive and respectable your weekend will be if you just keep going!!!

Day 29 is fantastic!

I'm glad you posted here to get support.

It’s great that you came here and posted so honestly. I’m day 25, last night I had such a vivid dream that I was drinking wine that for a moment when I woke up I felt guilty that I was back to day 1. The mind and AV voice can play all kinds of tricks, I suspect especially at this vulnerable stage of our sobriety..

29 days is a tremendous accomplishment, keep going.

No, no, no!!!! Don't drink. I understand how you feel. I'm on my 30th day and there are many times it's a struggle for me. We are no longer in withdrawal. It's just our AV. All we need is 1 sip and we will undo everything we've accomplished these last weeks. Hang in there. Someone posted a couple of weeks ago (I think it was TomSteve, but not sure) and said, "Don't drink, even if your a$$ falls off".

it's okay, I got up to about that awhile back and caved in. it is hard.

29 days is fantastic, Swoiblelr

It may be hard now but will be sooooo worth it.

And it won't stay hard.

Please keep posting, we are all behind you, beside you and all around you

No problem Swoibelr. If you want this more than anything else, DO NOT DRINK! Keep thinking about how you will feel in the morning. We've all been through what you're going through. Make sure you are eating and drinking a lot of water!

Hi Swoiblelr

Congrats on day 29

why not join the class of January or February support threads and post here a little more regularly? I really believe support helps,

What other things are you doing to stay sober?
