Thank you for reaching out, and creating this thread. I hope anyone who's struggling sees it, and realizes that their cravings will pass without causing any real harm, just as yours did. Isn't it amazing? Pizza and a movie. Who would have thunk that doing something as simple as eating pizza and watching a movie could be the key to a better future?

PS: Looking forward to starting HoC myself tonight!

When I do that the romanticism is stripped away and I'm left with the picture of me during my last excruciating hang-over. Or I'm left with my visit to a cardiologist terrified that I had done irreparable damage to my heart (I had not by the way, it was withdrawls/panic attacks I was suffering from).

Keep reaching out. Someone will be here all night ready & willing to talk you off the ledge in a moment's notice.

Play the tape to the end. You're worth sobriety. We all are!

This saves me some typing! I was gonna basically say the same thing. Play the tape to the end and you'll see yourself miserable. Why go there when you know how it will end?
