If I didn't start on December 15, 2015. It was going to be my sobriety for two years by December 31, 2015. So we can say I was sober for 2 years. I started easily as like everyone. My last couple experiences (the latest on Tuesday night) ended with brownouts (actually some blackouts as well). So I decided that was my time up for 3 months (December 15-March 15)
Right now I am home alone. Going through a tough time in all areas (financially, problems with x, problems with new boyfriend, problem with my teenage son), plus since I was sober I started to write stories. Now since I started drinking that diminished as well. Tonight I sat, and can't write a single word. That made me feel very bad together with other problems. Now I want to drink. Struggling hard. I want to postpone my requitting date to next Monday. But I know if I drink when I am down things might go out of hand. Please helpppp. I feel like I am seconds away from the refrigerator to go and grab the vodka. My doctor had issued a medication to take to stop my craving. Should I take that now? Kind of scared to do that as well. Since it is a new medication.

I don't know about the medication. You might call a pharmacist if you can't reach a Dr.
Don't drink now. If you're still sober, stay that way. You know the drill - you'll keep finding excuses to put it off.
Think about how nice it will be to wake up without a hangover tomorrow.
I'm sure others will chime in here - keep posting and distract yourself on SR tonight.

Get rid of the vodka and any other alcohol in the house STAT. Then take a bath, go for a walk, eat a pint of ice cream, play video games, whatever it takes...
You know you'll just come up with another reason to delay. I had a zillion of them.

If you have a medicine to reduce cravings, why not make use of it? Can't hurt and might help. And if your doctor prescribed it, he must have felt it would help you.
As to the immediate situation - get rid of the alcohol. Pour it out. And if it belongs to someone else, ask them to put it somewhere out of your sight.
It gets easier to resist each time you do it. Don't drink, no matter what!

I took the medication. It is 1.00 am here. I will try sleeping. The thing is I was extra tense since I couldnt write a word since 8.30 pm. That stressed me out as well
the powerlessness I have is that I don't know where the first drink will lead me to.
will it be a brown-out or a black-out? will I be ok? will I say or do something I will regret? will I get a dui? will I hurt another person?
because I know deep in my heart I can't predict where that first one will lead me to, I choose not to drink that first one today.
Please stick to your commitment of staying stopped!!! You won't regret that decision!

I took the medicine to take the urge away. I am scared because I never had an urge before. First time tonight. On December 15 I started to drink after 2 years because we had a big celebration. not because I had an urge .Tonight I seriously had that urge !!!!!

you know what I still consider my self abuser of alcohol not alcoholism. I think some one should persuade me in that. Maybe that is why I trusted my self and put my self in those situations the last 3 months. I lost my belief in myself
If I did this after 2 years that means I can always break this and do it again
