I forgot about the urge to drink?
I forgot about the urge to drink?
The most bizarre thing happened today...
My husband and I had a fight. But not the kind you yell, and cry, and end up throwing a flip flop at him...it was the calm and quiet fight. Ugh those are the worse!
I stood as tall as I could in my whole 5'4'' body and told him very calmly the brutal truth, in a very non dramatic way. My confidence is growing that's for sure!
The strange thing...while we were talking I lit a cigarette. We were in the garage and there were no ashtrays...so I grabbed an empty can of beer and used it as an ashtray (so classy, I know...)
20 minutes and 2 cigarettes later I put the beer can down and walked away...and then I realized I'd been holding a can of beer the entire time and didn't even think about it!
It didn't make me want to grab a fresh can, it didn't make me have horrible cravings. All I thought was "Oh I used to drink this, but not anymore"
A small miracle in a very big bad day. I am so grateful.

((((Patricia)))). Sounds good! progress! Always remember this moment in case the cravings come up. And I hate those, calm rational fights too. Good job on handling it so well.

It is a really great moment isn't it? It does happen! It becomes a non issue. You can still get the cravings once in a while but they're nothing more than a passing thought.
So glad that you had this experience!
