Wow! That was hard! Arg! Wanted to drink so badly today but I didn't. I'm not even happy that I didn't. I'm in scary territory right now. I told everyone at AA how I'm having a hard time remembering how bad alcohol makes me feel. My little resilient alcoholic mind is going crazy!!!!! I said I was having a hard time and got a ton of support but that addict voice is screaming! I have to basically "shout this from the roof tops" so the voice will have loads of people telling it to shut up!:react |
You can get through this - reaching out is one of the best things you can do 1Undone :) D |

I think your addict voice knows you're taking this seriously and it's fighting back. But, you're doing great. :) |
Hang tough undone. My addiction was screaming at me a few nights ago, but it passed and when I woke up I was so glad I didn't drink. Do you have a sponser you can call, or an AA phone list? Get in a chat room if you have to. Don't give in, it will pass. God bless. |
Yes a lot of AA peeps I can call and they are on high alert! LOL. CODE PURPLE!!! In my hood (head).:a108: |

Hey all! I'm still sober. My 13 yr old is laying next to me passed out from Angry Bird over-load!:c031: Husband came up and thought it was pretty funny that we were hanging out with the IPad. I swear it's kept me from drinking so many times! What a weird night.:lala |
Great job! Hearing about you making it through a tough time makes it easier for me to get through one. If someone else has done it I can too! Thanks for sharing. |

Way to go undone! Now you won't wake up with that horrible guilt and shame!! God bless., |
I used to tell my alcoholic voice to shut up but after working the 12 Steps, I don't have to yell at myself anymore. The drinking problem is removed. |

Good to hear you got through it, i had minor voices telling me 'go on have a drink' and managed to get rid of them by a swift walk. Keep up the good work, we are all behind you |
