Woke up feeling like just one drink wouldn't hurt. I will go to the 'one day at a time' mode of thinking. I am strong. Alcohol makes me weak in mind, body and spirit. I do not need that.

Hey Scotty,

Sometimes I wake up next to my cat. And I'll pet him and fondle him, but you can't do that with thoughts of drinking.

Think the drink through, urge surfing, stop thoughts... sometimes the best thing you can do is just to tell on yourself, did you feel better by posting about it? Don't give in x

That's the obsession of the mind. They are just thoughts, not reality. It's the reaction we have to those thoughts that either turn them into a reality or not. Let the thoughts pass, watch them, let them go.

Good luck today

I hear you! I've woken up and just had the urge to go out and get some. But I don't. I'll play the tape thru to the end. Sometimes I'll say HALT and see if I'm hungry, angry, lonely or tired. If so I will fix it. Sometimes I'll just sit and meditate. Just think about sitting in the woods on a hammock watching all the animals. I know it sounds kind of nutty, but it works for me!
