If you were to drink, your future would be certain.

Hi Lorelei, thanks for this post. I had a really terrible night too and wanted to drink so bad. I'll be three weeks on Monday. That seems so far away right now. I was finally able to come home and made myself go right to bed so I could read SR and I came across your post. It's so good to know I'm not alone. And you're not either. I hope your night got better and I know we'll both feel better tomorrow. You're not alone bc you were here helping me get through this. Thank you.

I hope you made it through last night Lorelei. When cravings hit me I try to distract myself with other pleasantries. Music, computer games, reading or even ice cream or chocolate.
(I never wanted sweets when I was drinking) If positive methods are not enough I think about the negative things that already occurred to me because I drank and if necessary I try to foresee what might happen if start again.
You'll have 6 weeks straight on sunday, just one more day to get there. The last two weeks have been easier for me and I hope that means the tide is turning. Hang in there Lorelei.

So glad you posted! This is a time of transition for you and it sounds like you are doing all of the work you need to do. It's so draining and hard, but I know you want to be happy and healthy and sober. I don't have any wonderful advice - wish I did. Sometimes I just had to hang in there for the minutes at a time to get through it. It will pass - you are strong enough to sit with the discomfort.
A lot of the time when I struggle I just hang out around here.

One day at a time! I am glad you feel better. Never underestimate the power of support. I too have to remind myself to use it when I need it.
