Craving ....
So it's day 8 and I am not craving as much as I FEEL like I should be drinking\drunk :p Have 3 nights off in a row .. So just seems like I should have beers . Not tempted at all though .. Cause I know where a "couple" leads .. But just found it odd that it hit me .. I mean like I said I have no urge, desire, real cravings of any kind .. Just "feel" like I should .. Strange I tell ya .. This weekend went off too well to ruin it now lol
Other then the MIL falling down the front stairs; I mean it went well .. My Ex. & I got along, had a few laughs . She cooked dinner, an apple pie, and even baked cookies :p So I would never ruin that right now .. Not to mention it has been he11 to get to this point of understanding myself .. So Why ruin it

I know what you mean, it's a weird but good feeling. I even walked past some liquor stores, my usual bogeyman, and didn't realize until past them. (shrugs), it's just feeling too good being sober, hey

Hey August I remember that feeling of not wanting to drink but feeling like I had to. Like auto pilot.... Here's where I'm suppose to disconnect. Keep doing whàt your doing and these crazy feelings will subside congrats on day 8

I find doing something different in the evening (when I did most of my drinking) helps to break the actual habit. I used to turn off my computer, turn on the TV, open a bottle of wine (the first of two usually) and drink until I passed out.
Now I stay on ....er..my ...computer..
Well it is different!

AW, great to hear you had a sober weekend, and 8 days !!!
i agree, you have to do something else at "crunch time", coming straight home, to be in the same environment, buts sans drink. that's no esta bien for me, gets me climbing walls.
again, so good to see your post AW.

I went to an outdoor musical event yesterday. I've been going for so long that I know a bunch of the people there. I was offered several mind altering substances as well as beers. I just kept telling myself. Why ruin this now? I'm feeling really good these days. Why ruin it now? I'm feeling healthy for the first time in a long time. Why ruin it now? It's a good mantra. Glad you had a good weekend. There are more to come.
You got cookies? I didn't get any cookies

AW - you have come so far in 8 days. I am inspired by you - great job. From your posts you have seemingly turn a major corner. I think you can make this stick.
In terms of the show, I tried to do somethign this weekend at a club and I found it a miserable experience. I just had to leave and realized there is not going back.

I know exactly what you mean when you say you feel like you should be drinking even though you don't want to. The number of times i drank because i thought i should but had no real desire to is unreal. Madness!. Congrats on day 8. Keep doing whats working AW. Glad you had a good weekend.
