Detox

Hi
Just got out of a 5 day detox program and am really craving a drink. I'm hoping day 6 will ease up a little.. It's really tempting to go to the store and grab a pint!! Kind of freaked out

Do Not Go To The Store. Just stay away from it. If you are having an urge to drink, stay away from where you would go to buy it. Do something to distract yourself, stay on SR, if possible. Eat, sleep, watch T.V., read if you can concentrate. Do whatever will keep you occupied until the urge passes.

Just play the tape through man.

If you give in to that temporary craving....how is that going to work out for you tomorrow? Next week? Next month?

Only you can answer that one....

All the best.

I'm glad that you went through detox safely and that you're entering an outpatient program. There is lots of support here, so I hope you keep posting.
