I am NOT drinking tonight.
 

Just putting this out there : I won't be having a drink tonight. I desperately need a win over the av right now. I need it even more than I "need" a drink.

It's so f----d up that one drink on Friday can turn into ... probably 12. And then off I go, drinking on Saturday and would be drinking again right now if I hadn't slammed on the brakes. I'm not overstating things when I say that my problem is way bigger than I realized. I'm not beating myself up, I'm just a little unsettled by the reality of it all.

So that is all -- I really want a drink, but I'm not going to crumble tonight. If I do, I'll feel like a loser. And I can't afford to feel like that.

Good for you Luling - you can do this :)

D

fwiw, I'll join you in NOT having drink too.

It does that Luling...Don't use that as a setback...Use that as something to find the courage to push you forward....Don't drink tonight Luling.

My drink of choice is diet Snapple peach tea. If I really want to get crazy, I'll have a diet coke later.

I'm not drinking tonight either. Let's hang out on here instead! :)

I'll not drink with you too (i'm watching TV :herewego) :)

now i want popcorn :/

I will join you in not drinking tonight too, Luling!
I'm really interested to see how my life will be sober.

I had some great sober days before I screwed up Friday, Zada. So I caught a glimpse of how good it can be, and am motivated to get back on track. It's hard, but I know it's worth it.

Did someone say popcorn? (ears perk up) I'll have extra butter on mine, please.

Mmm ... Popcorn ... That's it, I'm planning a popcorn and movie night for next weekend. My husband just picked up the Aliens trilogy on Blueray.

Great one, Scrambled!

Luling. Cheers to the non-alcoholic drink tonight, eh! You can do it!!

and we can have ice cream too!

Oh, hell yes on the ice cream. I like mine to be chocolatey chocolate with chocolate topping. In a chocolate cone.

hang in there Luling,

This will pass. Tomorrow morning you will feel great, relieved that you did not succumb to the AV.
love

Hi I just started on this site. I remember well the rude awakening when you realize you have a problem with the drink. It is hard to digest. Acceptance is key. Best to you. I'm not drinking either. I'll hang out with you. I think I have to have more posts to be eligible in the chatrooms? I tried it and it seems noone could see what I wrote? I'll figure it out sooner or later. This is a cool website. I want to learn it so I can tell my friend who is struggling today. thanks.

Great to hear it, Luling. No booze tonight. None for me, either.

After reading all of these posts, though, I'm going to gain a few pounds stuffing myself with the aforementioned comfort food. Plus some pizza. :)

I like chocolate cake! The sugar craving can be detrimental to quitting the alcohol, I say "have some sugar"!! :ValD007: Heart and flowers to you! These smileys are cool!
