Glad to hear everyone doing so well. Sobriety really rocks!
Glad to hear everyone doing so well. Sobriety really rocks!I still think about drinking in the evenings, and so forth, but it's gotten easier to just remember that there are consequences when I do that, and let it go. I'm not obsessing over alcohol anymore, and my mood is beginning to brighten.
I am so grateful for this!

been getting pretty bad cravings...just wanna get drunk to aliviate the obsession.
i think its because im spending more time in the city around 'normal' drinkers.
i keep wanting to be normal & beable to get drunk with friends.
its hard being lucid 24/7 no running away from anything.
i guess its my illness rearing its ugly head & i just have to stay strong.
*sigh*

I was p!ssed off by dk's sh!tty attitude/behavior tonight. AFter bringing her hateful ass home I drove by the 'bottle shop' on the way home. For about five seconds I had the urge to get a bottle of wine... but it passed and I'm glad I'm getting smarter in my recovery.
Not to mention a lightning-quick runthrough of all the negatives of drinking killed that craving double quick.

Hi everyone! I'm so proud of all of you!
I'm still here and still sober! 85 days. I've had a prolonged illness (nothing serious). You know something? There isn't much difference between when I am sick than when I am drinking. It's absolute lunacy to put myself through that again.
I have mild cravings but only if I see someone else drinking. DH has stopped buying alcohol and hasn't had a drink since the beginning of January. I'm sure he'll drink again but he can stop at 1. This has really made a big difference for me. Alcohol is starting to disappear from my radar. I hardly think about it anymore. Now, my focus is on not getting so comfortable in my sobriety that I forget I have a problem.

Tonight I'm having the worst cravings I've experienced since quitting in mid december. Just found out I did not get the job I was in the running for... hoping another door opens soon. This is the first real blow I've had to deal with sober- seriously considered running to the store when I read the rejection letter; but I know I'm not going to do that.
Gotta keep on keepin' on.
