Another day - no drink Hi gang Its been 7 days now since I decided I should try & give up drinking (last Thursday). I've been an evening drinker for years. My week's been like this: Thursday - Stayed at girlfriend's - no drink. Felt tired. Friday - Stayed at girlfriend's again - no drink. Felt tired again. Saturday - Went to theatre - no drink. Felt ok. Good evening. Sunday - Girlfriend came to my house - I gave in and we had some wine with dinner. Oops. Monday - Went to first AA meeting. No drink. Tuesday - Stayed at girlfriends. No drink. Feeling really good. Today - I had a really hectic day in the office and driving home I admit I did consider getting some wine. I have a 60 mile drive home and must've changed my mind about 50 times whether to get a bottle of wine or not. When I got to my home town I stuck firm and decided to just get some food, take it home and eat it straight away. I did this and the appeal of having a glass of wine vanished immediately. I will remember this!! After dinner I went online and found an AA meeting 5 miles away that I could make so I went back out and drove there only to find the building had been knocked down and a development of new homes was being built there. Bugger. The AA website database must need updating - either that or I was lost. So I drove home again a bit disappointed. I'm now tucked up in bed with my laptop feeling good that I have again not had a drink. Girlfriend just called on the phone - she hasn't had any drink tonight either. Just wanted to check-in here and keep in touch. Best wishes to you all. Steve |
Right on Steve, good decision...I've been having beer cravings the last couple of days...haven't caved yet, but I find myself trying to justify a little drinking...keep it up...cheers |
hang in there - both of you. support out, k |
It does get better guys, I promise! ;-) Kudos to both of you for making the decision to be clean and sober. |
Good for you Steve! Being hungry can definitely be a trigger so it was a great idea to eat dinner. I'm glad you're feeling good. |
