Having some urges to drink! (HELP)
I'm doing ok, day 5, I'm having some urges to drink however.
I've got a few activities planned etc, but tonight it seems especially hard to shake the thought that it would all be more fun with a bit of an alcohol buzz.

but is a "bit" of a buzz enough for you? Sooo many times I told myself I'd stop after a few, and kept ending up having to hide how much I was really drinking. If not that night, then a few nights later.
Play that tape in your mind all the way through....where will you really end up if you drink tonight?
Good luck, keep coming back here!

Try some cold sugary drinks
Nice cold drink- orange juice or soda- something sugary will help- your blood sugar might be dipping...have a bath if you can- go for a walk...you can get to 6 days for sure- you've come this far. You can do it!

Try to remember 5 days ago, and what it felt like. I can promise that if you are anything like me, it will just bring you pain and misery. Do you go to meetings? The fact that you are posting on here is a good start. You are conscious and aware of the urge.
The urges can get very strong. Eat, drink nice juice, and breathe slowly, concentrating on feeling every breath.
Enjoy that pizza! You'll feel like a million dollars when you wake up in the morning.

Absolutely, let's do this. I will check in here tomorrow Nonsensical! I've gone 5 days, I hope one disruption doesn't mean I need to count from start again so to speak - must be another measure?????
Addiction.
Is it possible I'm an addict. Did anyone ever imagine it. Seemed to be under control a few years back and farther.

We liked drinking, so we kept doing it. Our brains adapted to the steady dose of alcohol we gave it. Now we crave it without even liking it that much anymore. We just like the relief from the craving. That's all it can do for us now.
There's a better way. Let's do this!
