Checking in

I just thought I'd check in to hopefully help keep me accountable to staying sober .. Just about to head to bed after my second day.. It's been a huge struggle tonight trying to stay occupied and not think about wine but I've got there..xx

Sleep off the strain of the evening and wake up fresh and new. You can (and will) make it.

Nic233, alcohol will loosen its grip on you over time. Accept your cravings as your addictions attempt to reassert its control over you.

Remember, your addiction requires your consent. Stay in control.

Try not to fight it too hard. Drink plenty of water, I found this super helpful and freezing cold water produces the same physical response as cold beer.
