First Real Cravings..

Things have been pretty easy for me quitting wise. Today is day 137.

I got some good news today and for some reason, a real craving to celebrate with beer has kicked in. I am here to fight it.

I got called in for a second interview with the VP of the company I've been interviewing with. I've been out of work 2 mos. now so, I'm rather happy about this.

I need to come up with some other way to celebrate (man, if it's bad now, what about when I get the job!) other than grab a beer.

I'm thinking, a big meat lovers pizza and wings or something along those lines. Whatya think?

If anyone suggests going to the gym or a run, I'll have to hit ya.

Celebrating by treating yourself to foods you love is a great alternative to drinking!

You've come a long way in your sobriety. Don't let the AV win!

Congratulations. I used to thing of perhaps dozens of good things as well as bad things happening to celebrate with "a" drink. Fortunately I haven't for a lot of years and I have no regrets. Probably don't really remember 99% of them now. BE WELL

I use to think drinking was good for celebrating then my drinking turned my celebrations into living nightmares... God knows what would happen I could go from on top of the world to the gutter over night.... Something really sweet and bad for you sounds like a perfect celebration to me...

Congrats on your 137 days. That is huge. Celebrating with pizza and wings sounds like an awesome idea. Show your AV who's boss! I wish you luck on your second interview.

Hope the job works out

You're obviously cleaver and capable - you can find better ways to celebrate than with a drink - don't let that inner voice own you
