day 3 crunch day

Hi all,

The morning of day 3! I am not sure which will be harder day 3 when the feeling of accomplishment is wearing of and cravings return, or subd6ay which is normally my full day of drinking.

I know today will be hard as will tomorrow I just need to knuckle down and get on with it.

How is everyone?

Hi , it's great to post Day 3 is the pits but it's only a few hours till it's over. Do whatever you need to do to stay sober and be kind to yourself.

Well done Tambdy.... Yeah day 3 can be a bit of a bummer... For some stupid reason my day 3 was always at the weekend!! that's the trouble with drink, you lose all track of time & days... I did manage to conquer it by just keeping busy!1 Go out for a walk, go in to town, spring/autumn clean.. The cravings only last for 5 or so minutes & just keep reminding yourself, it will pass... Day 1 & 3 are pants but as soon as you get past them, you won't look back!! Keep up the good work!!

Day 3 is great. I always found it a bit of a hurdle to get through. Maybe it has to do with our bodies really being completely free of alcohol?

You can do this. Play the tape forward if you think of drinking. If you think day three is bad, remember day 1?

Hi Tambdy, I can relate. Yesterday was my birthday and Saturday's were my all day drinking session...and its now football season. I keep the AV locked in its cage, and try and forget where I put the key. Because if I even open the door a crack, it will blow it wide open. Stay strong. It will pass.

I thought day 1 and 2 personally were ok. Those were the days I remembered why I was doing it by day 3 you start saying "you have done well" you can have one lol

So far so good I don't plan on going back the way.

Thanks Thomas well done on not drinking on your birthday, I know it must have been hard.

How long are you sober now?
