Today is so much better than the day before and so on and so on.....I just need to keep reminding myself that Alcohol is evil to my life and stops me from enjoying it. It sneeks up on me as a little buzz and then it turns into getting sick and then obsessing over alcohol 24/7. It is so devious that way and I need to tell it to go away everytime it tries to sneak up on me. I have to say the urges are starting to subside a lot. I actually had a discussion with myself about getting some beer last night. How easy it would be since my other half is working late and I could just have a couple to get a little buzz. Shortly after that I realised I didn't even want it. Usually I want it and then try to do something to keep my mind off it until the urge goes away. This time I really didn't want it and I don't today either. I hope this continues. I am enjoying having a hot tea now as my way of getting my "little buzz". Alcohol is so caniving I know it will pop up again and again and again. It is such a mind game and I am not going to let it win!!!!!!!!! It has been almost 12 days and I am doing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am starting to really love myself and I deserve to be sober, it is a gift to me.

Congratulations on your 12 sober days!

Yep, the cravings pop out at you from nowhere. Realizing that can help you be better prepared for them. Sounds like you're off to a good start!

I am starting to really love myself and I deserve to be sober,you sure do deserve to be sober,Each time you don't give into your obession to drink it gets easier and easier. Never forget the consequences that always comes after taking a drink, and ask yourself each day "Do I want to be in peace with myself being sober or Do I want that coas that comes with relapsing?" Never Give Up 5 minutes before the miracle happensit is a gift to me.
