Bad mood and my favorite wine was BOGO at the store

33 days. Not jeopardizing that. But felt a craving. I haven't had many cravings (barely anything more than a passing thought). But had one today. Probably because of all the turmoil in my life right now.

Those probably are not our favorite drinks anymore. No reason for me to fool myself.

I can relate. I'm 100 plus days sober and this weekend was the first time I had any serious cravings. And not even because of a bad mood, but because I had an event which went well and wanted to celebrate with everyone else. Happy, sad, mad...doesn't matter, anything can be an excuse for us to drink. Stay strong, we can do this 😎

Earthsteps, 33 days is great. Keep your focus as you are and you will get through this.

Remember that you want to be sober more than you want to drink.

Great job on 33 days, and avoiding purchasing alcohol. You would have been buying yourself one hangover, and saving one for another day.

There will always be something.

I wrote this almost exactly a year ago. Perhaps it can be of some help to you, ES:

BOGO = Buy One, Get Obsessed?

BOGO = Buy One, Get Obnoxious?

Both, probably.

You got this!

It's been a tough weekend for me as well. The mind has been overly active. It's scary how the thought of a drink can creep up on you. Thanks for the post, I don't feel like the only one!
