Are you at home Clare?
I know that feeling so well...try and concentrate on the fact that you never wake up the next day being happy having drank the night before but if you get through today sober you will feel immense pride in the morning

Can you get outside for a while? Do some walking, or jogging, biking something to help you get your mind off of it, and something to get your heart rate up? Doing something healthy sometimes takes that urge to drink away.
10 days is fantastic, don't give in Claire. Some good advice here already. Can you divert your attention until this urge wave passes? Go for a walk, get in the car and go for a drive to get a coffee, pick up a magazine... anything to get you through this urge.
You won't regret this decision, I promise. The longer you stay sober, the easier it is to fight these urges.
Stay strong for yourself!

Good of you to come here for support before giving in to the urge. You mentioned you went to a couple of AA meetings. Did you get any numbers of fellow members? Someone you can call to help get you through this rough patch?
