Probably felt the same as you nearly 3 years ago . Stare at a wall if you have to , grind it out surf the craving , they do go !
Btw running helped and still does in a major way .
Drink and its return to rinse and repeat Groundhog Day life . Play the tape through always leads to the same ****.

If I had not discovered why I wanted to run away into the bottle, even on good days, then there was no way I was going to stay sober on bad ones.

Even though I am not going to start drinking again, there have been so pretty close calls. I am a son of b---ch so when I put my mind to doing something, I get it done eventually. There are no excuses, no more chances it now or never.

I'm a couple of days behind you Lancashire, and I had a bit of a tough afternoon.
Got through it by eating 2 x crunchies and a double caramel magnum ice cream and took the dog on a long walk.
Let's beat this together pal.
