Days 10&11

Well, the temptations are here. Yesterday they left after a bowl of ice cream, so I was able to get through my number one drinking time, Friday morning (I work nights). Tonight I thought for sure I was going to drink, but I looked at SR, which helped, and then God sent me....an upset stomach! I have drank through upset stomachs before, believe me, but....the temptation is gone. I have resources to help me get through temptations (sober friends, wife, prayer, ice cream), the problem is, when I am tempted, I haven't used them. Well, I ate the ice cream yesterday, and looked at SR today. Still sober somehow, ONE DAY AT A TIME. Beer sales stop at 2am! Just 6 hours to go!

Sobrer is how we were.designed to live.

Alcohol warped our minds. But, thankfully we do heal.

You are over most of the physical. Then it is a mental issue.

The mental took over a year to settle down.

Now, all that is left is a bit of crave.

Never going to drink again.

It starts one day at a time.

yeah, I ride my bike a lot, 38 miles yesterday. Problem is, then I feel like I "deserve" to drink. If I could just drink a few, no problem, but if I could just drink a few, I wouldn't be on this forum...

Good for you for resisting the temptation. Your biking should improve as you recover physically. Keep it up!

The longer you stay sober, the better you'll feel.
