...and suddenly I want a drink. In the middle of the afternoon. My parents' don't drink but there are a couple bottles of wine and beers here, probably left over from some party. Weird feeling b/c I haven't had a 'craving' in some time. As I was driving here this morning I remembered that the last time I came to visit I bought some wine and drank it on the way down (yes, in the car). And I also snuck a bottle in the bedroom closet and secretly drank throughout the night. So I guess that's where the craving is coming from. Time to break out the sparkling water!

Great positive attitude!

Good for you! You're inspiring me. I'm in my own house and I'm craving alcohol too (specifically wine). There are some open bottles that I should pour out.

Lola-
It was weird for me the first time at my parent's house after stopping, also. It was almost like I felt like I should be having a drink because I always had. I too, snuck wine into the house and into my room (like a kid!!!) However, I sort of sat with the feeling for a little while and realized it was just a feeling, not a real urge- and it went away. It was GREAT driving back home and realizing that yet another hurdle had been cleared. The second time I went back, I didn't think about drinking at all.

Good for you staying strong.

I have been sober for a while and I have discovered cravings just come at random times. Sometimes I can come up with a logical explanation and sometimes not.

I have stopped trying to analyze my cravings and have just accepted them as normal thoughts for an alcoholic. They come and they go. Cunning baffling and powerful is something I never forget

Hope your feeling better lola !

I am feeling better, thanks all! Finished off a bottle of sparkling and just avoided the refrigerator with the beers.
