Day 8 and im sitting in my office fantasizing about drinking. All im thinking about is how good a half pint would be right now. I know it would be a reallllly bad ideal because the cycle would start all over again. Not to mention i just stared a new job a few days ago. I cant afford to call in or even be hung over at work. I have to stay strong.

toni, day 8 is fantastic!

not worth teasing with a fantasy, instead imagine how good you will feel tomorrow and the next day on onward!

Big hugs

Remind yourself of what you have to lose if you drink.

Well done on day 8, the reality never matches the fantasy, because the fantasy does not exsist, just the alcoholic voice trying to trick us. Unfortunately I've kept falling for it and all i get is ill and self loathing. I drank so much this weekend that i had to call in sick to work yesterday and today. A new job too that i love, so am know worried about that and if i will be in trouble !! So please don't risk it i can hand on heart say it is not worth it. Im hoping this day one is my last

Good job on getting through this craving.

Good job getting through.

It used to help me to go back and look at old posts here in SR to remind me why I wasn't going to pick up. I suggest you do the same.

Great attitude. Everything is more important than alcohol. Your job, your health and your sanity deserve sobriety. Right?
