Day 10 - felt like I started to make it over the hump yesterday. Today was just another day, but I had had enough of this withholding stuff from myself...

The draw of alcohol was pretty intense and I got the in the car and thought for sure I was going to overspend at the liquor store and have a nice time tonight...

Made it halfway there... and turned into a parking lot to collect my thoughts. Took about 10 minutes... Turned around and drove back home.

Hmmmmm... frustrating to have to deal with this "issue".

On to Day 11 I guess...

Good job! And now you'll have a nice time tomorrow morning.

Perfect! I remember reading on the secular forum to ask, "Why am I doing this?". I remember doing that in my early days. Slowing things down in your head really works. congratulations.

Well done! You had that moment or "pause" to reflect and let your higher reasoning have a chance at it Great job!

I'm glad you thought it through.

10 days is great - but it's still pretty early...don't beat yourself up for craving - we did that for years

There are some good tips here tho:

Clones....there is nothing worse than that zombie feeling/mouse on a wheel feeling that I remember vividly on my first fail at staying sober.

I felt like my whole body was taken over and leading me to that store. I commend you for not going in. That's huge.

Remember this day. Remember you do not want to drink.
