Raider

I honestly do not know how I made it through yesterday. These past few days have just been awful. Watched four scary movies yesterday and ended the night with 3/4 pint of cookie dough ice cream. I would have ate the whole pint but I ate 1/4 of it the night before. It's just sucked. Last time I had 20 days I was in Rehab, didn't seem so bad then. Praying for some easier days to come. Only half twerking at this point. . Thanks for all the kind words.

I think ice-cream is better than booze, thankyou! We all have uphill battles so keep enduring.

Didn't know you were a twerker, lol. Perhaps we have different impressions of the word.

My guess is doing it on your own vs being in an institution where you can't drink is much stronger of a foundation.

Congrats on 20 days.

Good job on twenty days sober! Keep at it a day at a time. It will get better.

Raider, I've been following you here at SR since September and have been rooting for you.

Still rooting....

Raider, it's tough, but the last thing you want to do is to go back to drinking. You're doing great getting through this.

Hey raider ,
i had a pint tub of chocolate chip ice cream every day for the first 3 months , i'd not recommend it but it got me through .. Do what gets you through and keeps you sober .. plenty of time to work on all the other stuff as and when the time arises .

Treat yourself to a bubble bath maybe ? or some bath salts ? they were and are good for me ..

Bestwishes, m

I'm still on ice cream 14 months sober. Think we need an ice cream icon on SR

You're doing great raider

Hey Raider;
I just ate the last bite of my Haagen-Daz as I read about your cookie dough


You can do this and it really will get better.
Please keep posting and if the ice cream is working, keep eating it.
I sure am.

Hi, Raider! Good job eating the ice cream vs drinking. I had the strongest cravings for sweets after I first stopped drinking. And normally I don't. I'm at 43 days now, and those sweets cravings are starting to level out a bit.

Hello Raider,
I've been following your journey. Please stay the course, you are doing well and can come through it. It is very painful at times, but it is so worth it!

HD cookie dough dynamo is my absolute favourite! Don't be too hard on yourself at this stage.
Strength to you!

Raider

Thanks. Wow. Love the encouraging words. I really appreciate it.

I've heard that ice cream and coffee are the hardest things to quit for good! Nothing wrong with either in my book!

Amazing job! Keep going! It gets so much better.

hi Raider - so happy for you on Day 20! it's awesome. It's a hard day today for me -Sunday funday ...so after two eggs and hashbrowns I made a bowl of ice cream. I guess it was part of my breakfast.
