Casey, I get those all the time. That first sip was the best.....but then it spirals out of control into a dark abyss. Stay strong.....you've kept me strong plenty of times. Glad you're going to an AA meeting.
I love this class

Spilled half of the aforementioned tea on my carpet. Ugh.
Cravings are gone now though I'm left with a headache. I'm not going to a meeting. I started to go about twenty minutes ago but it's like 93-95 degrees outside right now and a two mile walk and I just couldn't make it more than a couple of long blocks before I turned around and came home. Too hot and miserable with all the concrete and pavement and no wind. I've got to get a car soon. Unfortunately years of drinking and other irresponsible behavior has totally destroyed my credit and I hate going to one of those loan-shark bad credit car dealers that way overcharge for sub-par vehicles. I'll figure it out.
Eating some chocolate now and just took a couple of aspirin. I'll be OK. Just because I'm still getting these cravings every now and then, it doesn't mean I have to act on them. Got to remember I'm still a baby when it comes to recovery. Got a lot of years of drinking to overcome to retrain my brain and body to not view that first sip as a reward. As I always tell all of you, the important thing is I didn't take that first drink no matter what. I'll be going to the chat meeting in an hour. That's better than nothing, right?
