Hi my friend
I'm sorry to hear your struggling today
Sometimes when I'm struggling , a quick look outside of my head at the world around me puts things into perspective
I hope your day gets better

Think .. DO you want to have to go through withdrawals again? (Works for me)

Good Morning-

I've been there. These are the days that you MUST get through. Grind it out. Purposely put yourself in positions where its impossible to get, or access a drink and stay there as long as possible.

You can DO THIS!!

Hey snooze hang in there! There is an uphill to this valley you are in. Think about your kids. This will pass I promise dint fight the feelings just get through them.

This was me yesterday! I cried and threw a fit and every minute seemed to drag, but I did make it through without drinking! You can do it!!!! One minute or second at a time and it will pass!

Thinking about going through withdrawals again is a great one. I'm withdrawing now again and hate myself.

SnoozyQ

Good idea x

Hey Snoozy, we can get through today. Think about how great the last days/weeks etc have been without the booze or the dreadful hangover. How long has it been for you so far?

maybe just go to bed.tomorrow is a new day.you'll wake in the morning glad you didn't drink. No one ever wakes wishing they'd drunk the night before, but you'll regret it if you do drink.

SnoozyQ,

Have you been in the chat room yet? You know that this urge will pass. It sucks right now but it's going to go away and when it does you're going to feel good that you did it, you got through it.

Is there something that you can do that will take your mind off of it?

SnoozyQ

Hi lady , i cant get into the chat rooms ive tried when i first signed up .ill just hover around SR for a bit x

ReadyAtLast

The urge will pass. If you drink you know it won't just be one drink.It will be 1 bottle and the rest,1 leads to another.

If you've not already done so,try urge surfing.It works well for me

What is Urge Surfing?

Spend some time reminding yourself OUT LOUD (seriously!!!) what you LIKE about being sober....the good things! Then tell that voice in your head to f*ck off! :-)

Hi Snoozy,

I am sorry you are struggling. I was struggling the other night and it took me about 30 minutes to shut the beast up. I came here to SR and just read and I got over it. I know it is hard. My AV gets fired up on Fridays and doesn't shut up all weekend long, but I manage by keeping myself super busy and indulging in sugar.

Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Hey! Hope you are doing ok? I really struggled yesterday. :-( stay strong. X
