Feel a bit better today but still feel like I'm in a dense fog and can't see very far. As far as staying sober goes, I have to stay sober cause it seems to be the only thing I'm doing right.

Saxony...I was that same way a few weeks ago...I thought there was no way I'd NEVER drink again, so why wait?! It tasted BAD, my friend! Plus, my body realllllly wanted it and I was not able to limit myself. I got heart palpitations, I got freezing, went in the tub to warm up, then went OUTSIDE inappropriately dressed to cool down, couldn't go to sleep 'cause the room was spinning so much, felt like sh!t!!! I was bawling, eating like a pig to try and even out the booze, felt horrible I lost my days. My body thought, "this is my chance!!" and made me drink more and more. I didn't even really feel drunk! Just sick!
Please do not lose your time! It is NOT fun! You WILL feel horrible!
How about going to the candy store instead and buying yourself all the types you could possibly crave tonight?! Treat yourself that way??
What else is happenning?! Anything that might be triggering this right now?

Sax, we all have triggers. Each of us is different.
Our triggers aren't stupid, no matter what they are, they're triggers and for us that can mean life or death.
I heard someone say at a meeting that fatigue was a trigger for him.
It's not a trigger for me so I can't completely understand it, but TRIGGER, that I understand.
You did the right thing posting here. You've got to talk it out. Your alcoholic brain is trying to convince you of something -- and it's lying to you.
Keep posting!

Come on Saxony, don't do it! I know I haven't posted in awhile (busy with storm damage from Ike - in Ohio beleive it or not!), but we share the same sobriety date. I had a tough week, but I'm still sober (small miracle). We are 2 weeks away from 90 days. Can we reach 90 together???
