Mad cravings in an AA meeting :O
Mad cravings in an AA meeting :O
Well I went to my second AA meeting this evening, and a veteran was sharing. As he started talking about alcohol, I started thinking about how nice a drink would be.
By the time he was halfway through his share, I'd planned my route home to include a stop at a supermarket to get some JD. This was the strongest craving I've had so far, it consumed my entire being for twenty minutes. It didn't help when another member shared and proudly announced that he'd drank and used drugs all through the week, and that he didn't feel bad at all. Even saying that his higher power was pleased about it, haha.
Thankfully, I fought back, and I'm glad I did, so glad. Sitting in bed with a glass of water and a book, and genuinely happy that I'm still sober.
Odd that AA could be such a strong trigger. AV can kiss my arse.
Oh, and I got my two month chip

Great job on two months. I had a couple of those moments at meetings as well at right around the 2 month mark. It was the first time I remember actually salivating when thinking about alcohol. WTF??? At some point you will realize it starts getting better/easier every day.
I relate! I first tried AA a couple years ago and I always left feeling depressed, isolated, and craving big time because of the first two things. But this time around I was in a program that made me do AA, and I got to see that there are specific meetings that make me want to give up... and others that give me strength.
I'm also at 54 days and I've been having a rough go of it since Wed. Tonight I had my first real legit craving since quitting. Seems like it's fairly common to have a tough stretch around the 60 day mark. Great job staying strong!
