Had a momentary urge to have 'one' drink
Had a momentary urge to have 'one' drink
Then I reminded myself of the morning-after shame, guilt and remorse. Because it would not have stopped at one drink. It never does.
Peace in mind, body and spirit to you all

Yes, all the time. Every day. I am nearing my 60 day mark and yes, it's gotten much easier not not crave a drink I still have the feeling of "gee, a glass of wine would be nice right about now...". Problem is, it wouldn't be A glass of wine, the normal 8oz serving. It would be my hallmark 16oz glass with 3-4 to follow. And I know it.
I guess I have been fortunate never to think of having 'one' drink. I never did have just one, I only ever wanted to get wasted.
I've had my cravings, some lasting far longer than momentary thoughts. But I've wanted to get drunk, no romantic notions of moderating at all. The choice is and has always been very clear to me. I either stay sober, or I get wasted. No choice then really.
Thoughts of drinking are normal. Just don't act on them x

At one time, I thought I could drink one or two. That was so long ago. For many years I drank, knowing I would drink it all or pass out. I still experience drinking urges, that's my addiction rearing its head and roaring, give me a drink. I just shut down the thought as quickly as possible. I must not give it an audience.
So glad you had the presence of mind to let the urge pass.
