The aftermath of drinking would be 1,000 times worse than the AV-BS you are feeling right now.
We love you! You deserve to be sober !!! Have some food and fill that belly (without overeating of course).

Pink, ask yourself what are you going to do with that buzz? Just go shopping, home, etc. once you have it and leave the bar, it will disappoint you and leave empty. Promise.
Bbf that is freakin awesome!
Chris, good timing, I am having a hell of a time now for some reason too. I just basically mentally relapsed. I am missing being able to hang in bars, etc.
I forget who just said they have been traveling and are struggling and hating it. Try to remember what it was really like to wake up hungover and self loathing in a hotel bed... Remember my story with the preparation h on the eyes to give presentations? You don't want that trust me!!!

Pink, alcohol is just like that jacka** boyfriend we have all had. Sure, there was a reason you began to date, but all you'll end up with if you go back is the hell you finally escaped from. It's just a strong association of something you no longer do! I know you can do it!

Pink- your habits are not what they were. Wishing you courage, strength, control, and peace as you face your challenge.
Chris- you've been through this before and you've overcome. Embrace the "suck" for as long as you need to and recognize things will change and you'll be stronger for it.
How are you both doing now? What do you need from the team?
I have a one hour meeting and will check in around 5pm New England time.

Chris, I definitely deal with PAWS. Those are the days that I try to be extra generous and gentle with myself. I make sure to eat well, take my vitamins, get outside for a walk, and try to redirect my thought to helpful ones. I tend to make things too important and too complicated on these days. You are such a good friend to us, please be good to yourself

Guys and gals I am almost in tears (good tears!). I came home to find this. My wife made me double chocolate chip brownies to celebrate 80 days.
What an amazing surprise! Just exactly when I needed it too !! How blessed and lucky am I ???
I am so grateful !!!! snif, snif
My PAWS did not instantaneously go away but I must say this made my day and I wanted to share the love with you all.
