Wow talk about intense cravings this evening! Lasted about 3 whole hours, I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally nearly grabbed a drink but I didn't cave!
Thank you for supporting me I appreciate it so much!

Living at home at the moment, mothers wine in the fridge! No she doesn't have a drink problem but she does like a tipple now and then.
That's kind of a tough situation, Chilledice. I realize it's her house and she has a right to keep wine if she wants. But does she understand your situation? If it's a big issue to you but a small issue to her, why not at least keep the wine somewhere you don't have to see it? Whites can be stores anywhere cool; she could just chill it briefly before drinking it.
I'm glad you didn't cave but I'm a little bit concerned. If I recall correct you have an appointment for treatment, is that correct? And you did go to the ER for symptoms that worried you. It's awesome that you're stepping up and facing the issue head on. But it feels like nothing else in your home environment has changed. I'm 22 months sober but I don't have to face all my favorite bottles of wine every day. If I was on a strict no-carb diet it would be hard living in a bakery!
I'm curious what kind of plan or method you're using to stay sober. Willpower isn't a great approach, you don't want to just have to resist temptation. There has to be some good alternative for you.
Please don't misunderstand me, Chilledice- I think you're doing great so far. I just hope you're setting yourself up to succeed. Can you talk to your mom about how difficult it is to resist drinking when you see her wine every time you open the fridge?

Keep going China!
You can do it.
Like some of the other posters have said - you need to get some other plans in place. Willpower is a cornerstone of the process but you need other things to occupy your time and thoughts?
Proud of your achievement!
All the best,
Bruce.

Been there, they can be tough to ride out, but they do pass. I found that my cravings decreased dramatically after about 2-3 weeks of sobriety. Fortunately, they usually only occurred in the late evening, and not everyday during that period. But when the urges came, they were strong.
Focusing on TV or eating helped me a lot during that period. And AVRT was a big factor in helping me keep the urges at bay.

In all honesty I don't have a plan! I know this sounds silly but I don't know how to make a plan up! I don't know where to start?
Yeah I have an appointment not this Monday but next Monday with my Dr, hopefully my enzymes would have come down a bit by then! Ltes hope pray and see
Thanks China
Its tough work but im doing it!
I watch tv and do some cooking and SMALL exercise but that's all I have energy for right now, feel like sleeping most of the time!
Well Done Chilled, You are doing it, very proud of you for having the courage and mental strength to get this job done.
Be strong and post whenever you have any cravings or urges, it helps tremendously in my experience.
Have a great weekend guys N Gals

She has been going through a rough time lately so I didn't wanna bother her about the wine but I am sure if I raise the issue with her then she would have no problem putting the wine where I cant see it she does support me but I just didn't wanna bother her about it that's all.

It does sound like you're making progress. Just remember one is too many and a million will never be enough. It's a lot easier not picking up the first one than setting down the third one.
