Day6
Spent my first sober Friday night in a while going to the grocery store buying all sorts of healthy food....some Hershey Kisses and Rolo's. It was a beautiful night so took a nice long walk with my daughter. Got into bed early and the "cravings" started. I knew that chocolate was in the cabinet and couldn't stop thinking about it. I fought it hard...I had already brushed my teeth and was almost asleep. But I broke, flew outta bed, got both bags and ran into my room like a thief, hiding the "goods". I'll skip over the gory details of what happened next, but truth be told, I woke up with candy wrappers everywhere and chocolate crumbs all around me!
I have to admit, I'm feeling a little sticky and have chocolate in my fingernails.......but the guilt of chocolate abuse the next morning is a welcome change!
Sending hugs to everyone and praying for a happy, healthy weekend for all!
Have a great day y'all!

I kind of think we are on the same timeline lol.
I had a very similar experience last night with cookies. And I don't even like cookies!
Friday night is definitely a "trigger" for me, and at one point my AV was trying to convince me that I'm actually a better husband when I drink. And then all my biggest fears came knocking on the door until i thought to myself, "well, I could probably have two drinks, just to feel normal." I had to go back into my old posts and read my own stuff warning of stuff like that.
Alcohol is truly, honestly, unabashedly vicious and insidious stuff. Powerful stuff. Any opportunity to drag you down into the depths...
Happy that some of us made it through the night sober. I'm sure many, many people who were trying didn't.

congratulations! I have had a serious sweet tooth too. I am on day 51 and its calming down a little. strange for me since I never liked sweets at all. guess I was getting plenty of sugar from my wine without realizing it!
