Thanks JumpnOn2 
Put my laptop on now can type a bit better.
Kadidee i never tried writing before but i am finding putting my thoughts down on this forum a great help in focusing my mind. The support here is overwhelming.
Personal crisis, I have calmed down now but my emotions are so strong and raw finding it hard to deal with the least little problem big ones just floor me so used to drowning everything out with wine or vodka or well anything really never been than fussy if my drink of choice wasn't available i would take what ever was available.
Need to work on a plan for tomorrow it really has helped today.
Take care my fellow classmates ride out those cravings they do pass yay local shop is now closed and i feel quite calm finally going to put a film on put my feet up
xx
ps love those smilys cant do those on my phone

Glad making a coping plan worked for you today Talia!
You're smart to make a new plan for tomorrow too.
You're showing your addiction you are onto it and that you are one step ahead...
and that you mean business!

Stay close Zazz.. keep posting!
Make a commitment to at least post before you decide to cross that line and drink. That will at least postpone your action and give you time to reconsider.
I always told myself if I still wanted to drink the next morning then I could.
(But see, the next morning I was always so glad I didn't drink!)

That shower felt great...
Good to actually be able to take a nice relaxing non rushed shower and actually remember I did.
It's the small normal things that I'm surprised at!
Waiting to feel 'normal' again... But as I was taking the shower I realized I don't know what 'normal' is... So I guess for now.... This is my normal... :-).
Hope everyone is staying strong!

LOL Thanks for that reassurance Rusty.....
Jump, good for you, glad to hear it, though you're wise to stay aware.
I found that when things got easy and I thought "oh I got this" that was when my Addiction's voice popped up sneakily. Oh, it is clever....

Happy to hear you've got yourself a plan, Ghostface. Smart move.
When I joined SR I suddenly realized that before SR, when I considered quitting, I had no plan and no support. Having both once I got with SR made the difference.
