During my first days and even now, I have to live one second at a time. Try as often as possible to get out of your head. Using was my solution to getting caged inside myself.
Congratulations, RK. You can do this.

One thing I will say is that my sleeping pattern is all over the place at the moment - not that it was great when I was drinking but it was a bit more settled, but I've experienced this before and have to say it is a small cross to bear for the benefits of being dry at the moment - and the memories of DT's are still helping to keep the urge to drink at bay...
Was tempted yesterday - don't know if tempted is the right word exactly, but you know when you allow yourself a moment of luxury by not obsessing over keeping your addiction in check? I swear the taste of drink entered my mind and for a split second I thought... Hmmmm.... and then thought, holy sh*t - NO WAY!!!
Just shows I can't switch off for a moment with this - I know I sound confident in some of previous comments and I am, but there is no way I'm about to underestimate the ability of my subconscious to trick me...
Not this time!!!
Anyway, good morning folks - I hope today brings you all hope and success...

Hey RK... so glad that you made it thru another day 
Hopefully you'll get more restful sleep soon.
I know what you mean about letting your guard down for a sec. I have been doing great at times when I know I need to keep my guard up, but it's those times when I am not suspecting it that really surprise me. (Like how my van wants to drive itself to my (former) favorite beer/wine drive-thru & and how my cart at the grocery store pulls me toward the wine aisle... I think it's a conspiracy :wink2: My brain actually gets happy for a moment and then I realize what is going on. I feel like I am parenting 4 kids instead of 3!.
Looking forward very much to hearing your re-recorded song. You are doing faboo! Keep it up :-)

I'm going to get some measure of satisfaction out of depriving my addiction, as it's sure had it's way with may for long enough... :uzi2:
Thank you again Reubena, glad you are doing good too - see we can do it!!!
