Fab day today but my god I could kill for wine right now, I said it in jest to my husband n he's bought wine he wants to share it with me....
I've told him to enjoy it himself as I can't do it as one glass is never enough.
It's awful knowing I will never be able to enjoy a glass with him ever again but app u keep thinking is rather that then lose my family.
God help me with this craving tonight I thought it was supposed to get easier

You don't need the wine. My cravings have been something fierce today, but I can't go back to that waste of a woman and mother. I just won't do it. You can get through this and it will get better!!!!!

Just hard some days. It's awful on an evening I hope it sorts itself out soon.
I had a Cadbury cream egg and I've tucked the girls in and I'm going to have a shower to kill some time

You don't need the wine you can do it.

Hate this feeling it's like a cruel joke

Hold fast. It will get easier but it takes time. THe obsession and craving to drink doesn't go away quickly, in most cases.

Does your husband know you're trying to stay sober ZG?

I was reading your post this morning and thinking about those high "pink cloud" moments I had early on in my sobriety ( first few weeks mostly) that were often followed by lows, the cravings and feelings of being deprived, especially in the early evening ( my witching hours). This is normal and you can work through it and it will get better. You had such a fabulous day and there will be so many more. Just don't drink.

That's hard, Zombiegirl, I know. I have to navigate the wine at my house almost every night. We just have to want to stay sober more than have that illusive, false, "one glass." You can do it. Might be a night to get to bed a bit early: get to that hangover-free morning as soon as possible. Stay strong!
