It is not easy. And coming to the realization that you can never have even one glass of wine (yes, wine and gin are my favorites) is hard to grasp.

In ways it does get easier. But be prepared, this is a life time change. It will have ups and downs. Be ready and be strong!

Wine was my addiction too. I'm determined to say WAS btw.
Today a friend stopped by on her way to a yard sale and I gave her a complete set of glasses to see if she could sell them for me. I told her I don't even want them back either way! I didn't explain why but I just wanted them out of the house!!

It will get better.

This too shall pass.

I'm sorry it's hard right now.

What works for you when cravings/urges come up? distraction, remembering why you stopped drinking, worst case scenarios, thinking of good things about sobriety, exercise/activities...

Congratulations on Day 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Guys,

I am not going to drink... even if I really want to. I know the beast I turn into when I do. So, I am going to hang in there... I might have to pout alittle. But, you know what. I have an will keep making the right decisions.

I have been working out... and I think tonight if the weather holds I might go on a motorcycle ride. The weather is perfect in Atlanta right now for it.

Thank you all for all your words...
