Day 2 alcohol craving

How sad is this. 2 days ago my day started with a breakfast drink. Then continued throughout the day with mini breaks in between. Then once 5 o'clock hit, that was my happy hour.. then the drinks proceeded until I would pass out. Well I thought all my alcohol was locked away, then I seen one lonely beer hiding in my drawer. It took everything I had not to crack it open. And now I can't stop thinking about that one beer.

it would be wise to get ALL alcohol out of the house.

Dump it out...get rid of all alcohol. Then you can't think about it anymore

Hello.
Your routine sounds like mine only I didn't wait for five o'clock to roll around.
It was a couple of shooters of whiskey followed by beer the rest of the day.
And this was starting at 8am.
I would dump that beer,,,if you're anything like me, you know what drinking it will lead to.
You're early in sobriety. Very new. I know I would drink that beer, if I didn't dump it, and all the regret, anxiety and self-loathing that would come with it after I drank another twenty drinks.
Best to you and remember, you don't have to drink that beer.

I have had the same problem. Saving it feels like a security blanket. But, it is your AV telling you to keep it alive.

Hey Natasha, think about how bad you'd feel in the morning if you had that beer, then chuck it out. And think about how proud you'll be in the morning when you abstain.

I got to the point where I started drinking at 8 am. I would justify it and say "oh it's a hangover drink" or a breakfast beer and then I would hide that I was drinking all day long. I would take little breaks in between but made sure I kept my buzz going. But safe to say I dumped out the beer
It's the evenings that bother me the most.
