Eight days.....

Feeling ok. Become terribly tired in the evening anytime past about 9am. Booze does cross my mind but not enough that I want it go break into a bottle. Watching TV and noticing how everyone has a drink in their hand. I could have one too but I wouldn't stop at just one. So before I get frustrated with cravings, grabbing a bottle of water and going to lay down. Blessings SR

Hang in there Raider. I'm in the same mood. Also decided to retreat to my bedroom and just try to take down the distractions and increase the serenity

I went to bed early a lot in the first months of my sobriety. And I knew that when I went to bed I would wake the next day sober.
Do what ever you need to do.
Great job on eight days!

Yes I use to hate that about TV, it is everywhere when you first quit.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers Raider you are doing great! Be proud of yourself.

It's not just been 8 days, Raider, it's been a whole rollercoaster of challenge and emotion - and you've made it! So proud of you

Adjusting your sleep wake cycle can work wonders for cravings. Mine are a little wacky but it works for me. Bed by 9 up by 4. Maximize your daylight non witching hours decrease times of struggle. There's a peacefulness in my world in early dawn sets me up for a great day

Great job on 8 days!!!!!!
