I'm glad Rar. 11 days is way early and it will get better each time. You are working your sober muscles. What I did was really educate myself, I made a plan, and I work it everyday. the urge surfing and other links are great.

I'm so glad you came here and talked it out.

Hope to see you around.

Hi All. I'm on Day 11 today. I've been having bad cravings all afternoon. I read that they only last 20 minutes, but that doesn't seem to be the case today. It's not anxiety, but a true craving for a drink. I've tried all sorts of things - vacuuming, clothes washing, reading SR, walking the dog and now trying to watch a movie. All I can think about it having a beer. Hubby just got home from work and just grabbed a beer, heading up to the shower. He will drink the rest of the evening. Right now I'm sipping on seltzer water while Hubby is drinking and it's not very satisfying. :(

Thank you Nowsthetime. The urgesurfing really helped me tonight. I think I have a plan, but it's mostly physical activities. I need work on the emotional, mental part. Thanks to SR, I am finishing Day 11 Sober and will begin Day 12 without a hangover. YAY.

Yay!! You probably had bad cravings today because of your meal last night. I have to eat low carb/ no sugar or I crave alcohol terribly the next day. Tomorrow wil be much better :)

I'm glad you got through Rar. Great job! :hug:
Next time, I would get yourself out of there and do something else while your husband is drinking. Maybe you can take yourself to a movie.
