Day 19... I think!?
Day 19... I think!?
haha I haven't really been keeping up with the days, but the 6th of next month will be a month sober. It's either 18 or 19.
I still keep having these sudden "attacks" of urges that are really hard to ignore. I noticed that I have been hungry all the time since I've stopped drinking and that's kind of annoying... but it's better than drinking! This happens almost everyday on my drive home from work, driving through town past the 5 liquor stores I go by. I have actually been stopping and getting fast food on my way home, idk... its weird but that helps.
I'm trying to think of how many ways my life has improved in this short amount of time with my family, girlfriend, work, and everything else, in order to focus on the positive things about sobriety more.
If I get the urge to drink I've either thought about how things have improved, or tried to focus on how terrible I felt when I thought I was going to lose my job, my gf, and was probably close to death in order to help fight off the desire to drink. I just pray that I can keep this up, or the urge to drink starts to fade a bit.
Thank you SR.

Congrats! 12-6 will be 1 month for me too. I am deffinitely eating more since I quit drinking my dinner. Gonna hit the gym today and maybe ride my bike since I have the day off and it's nice out. When I start to think I can handle a couple of beers in the evening, I think about the problems I have now because of my drinking and the close calls I've had in the past since my last attempt to "moderate". There's no sence in trying to do what has already failed.
