Day 2 (never sure on naming the title)
 

Took my last drink Sunday night and posted here Monday AM.

Well I didn’t sleep much last night and had a pretty hard workday today, guess that means I will sleep tonight, I hope.

The AV keeps talking though, last night it was “just tonight”, it’s not like you actually quit yet and tonight, “let’s try just a couple, that’s all you need anyway”. I already know a couple isn’t going to do, so didn’t go down that path.

I think it will be the mental game that will be the hardest, if I let the thoughts in to far its game over once the AV has control.

Funny, when I drink I stay up late and wake up feeling terrible, tonight I feel like crashing early after some TV.

Day 2, nearly done.

Crashing early has it's benefits---like waking early and being fresher than the rest of the world. Congrats on making 2 stiv!

Great job Stiv. Most habits are hard to break. I can completely relate to the rationalization going through your head. A hard work day and a good nights sleep...tomorrow morning will thank you for it.

Stay strong Stiv... Fix yourself a cup of tea, a glass of soda, sparkling water, anything... I found my tastebuds came alive after quitting. (144 days). You can do this...👍

What good news Stiv :) - 2 days is something to be proud of.

Ice cream always helps me. And sleep. I hope you get some. It's a great restorative. Hang in there. Day two is great.

Oh just a normal Tuesday. Only I thought hey let's drink wild turkey... And puke. No big deal. My girlfriend is gonna leave me if I don't get my life together

I told those thoughts "Not today, for today I think I will try to not drink/use and maybe tomorrow I'll entertain you" and it worked, one day after the next.....

Congrats on day 2 Stiv

Keep pushing through Stiv!! Day 2 is fantastic!! :scoregood

Ignore the AV stiv..it has nothing useful to say to you.

Have you seen these tips for cravings?

A guy at a meeting I went to today said he told his girlfriend that he hates trying to hold down the food in his stomach, trying not to puke. She told him, for something you hate, you sure do it a lot!! John
