Day 1 again.
Hello.
My desire to stop I think is great enough at the moment that I might just be able to gain some defence against the cravings for drink.
Have stopped before many times with and without AA. Not for a long time now though. My life has been blighted by alcoholism.
Wish me luck!
End of day 1 sober.

Don't worry repeatoffender, you can do it. I have stopped after more than 25 yrs. of heavy drinking/DUI's/health issues/blackouts/lost relationships. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm doing it now, and you can too. SR has helped save my life, I'm convinced of that. Stay with us and you'll find comfort, wisdom and support here.

Welcome to our recovery community
In early sobriety....
I timed my cravings.
They were 5-7 minutes in duration.
Not too long too endure discomfort
.
Soooo....I took action.
Walked...rushed my teeth... Drank cold water...Hard candy
Within 2 weeks...they lessened in both time and intensity.
By 2 or so months .... they vanished.
Now...were they mental or physical?
Darn if I know. Nor do I care.
Glad you are here with us..

Thanks for your kind messages.
Good luck to you too Steamvessel.
Roll on day 90. That'll give me an brilliant excuse to go out celebrating!!
JOKE!
Seriously though. I'm feeling fairly upbeat about this attempt. And I do know only too well the adage: the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Time will tell. And like I say, at the moment my desire to stop is strong.
I truly am fed up with the lifestyle, pain, skintness, feeling sick, anxiety, anger, loneliness, sadness, missing out on life, etc.etc.etc.
