scary..
scary..
I've had it easy so far.. six weeks and very little doubt or confusion on my choice to quit.
That said I walked in to the garage and noticed a case of wine that i ordered because I really liked it. (should note we have a wine cellar and my wife drinks pretty normally)..
anyway for a few seconds I really thought about "my" wine, don't really know what I was thinking about it maybe that I liked it or that it's a bummer that I can't have it or ??
Anyway I just wanted to tell someone that it scares me when I feel a moment of disappointment that I can't drink... glad it passed in just a few moments...
okay feel better now off to my favorite meeting..

Yea, I'm going to have those moments walking into any store that sells beer. If I can just get past day one and onto day two, I think it will get better for me.
You sound as if you have strong will power and hope I will have the same.

I get those frequently man, especially when I think about brewing my own favorites, it's intense sometimes. But that's my old life, not the new one I want for myself. Because you and I both know it won't end at 1 case of wine, or 1 batch of beer....
Keep going strong

I'm happy to say that by five or six months I lost my cravings to drink, and even better, I lost the desire to drink. Don't know where they went but they're gone. I think it just takes time for the brain/mind to 'rewire' so be good to yourself, physically and mentally, and change will come. Seven months now and I rarely think about it.
Hang in there. It DOES get better.

I walked past a liquor store today...saw they had a big display - they have big cardboard 6 packs of wine now called 'Wine'...
my only thought was...well-what else would you call it? Trevor?
It does get better

Ahhh that's feeling sucks. Don't feel guilty for it, it is what is true. Everytime I go to the place where I say: "I'm mad becuase I can't drink" and reframe by saying "I am mad because I am adhering to my CHOICE to remain sober." I feel so much more empowered. But man oh man, that's a rough feeling.
