Ugh. Drank last night. I've been telling myself for a week that "this time" I was ready for the cravings that come LIKE CLOCKWORK on day 10 or 11, but....I didn't post my urges, didn't eat ice cream, didn't pray. I putit off for a while, but once the cravings hit, I felt a physical EMPTINESS that could only be filled by beer. AA doesn't do it for me anymore, although there is a lot of good in it. I tell myself I want to quit, I have the above resources, and I...didn't...use...them. I'll be posting a lot more now. If I bore you, scroll to the next thread. That's where SR has AA beat all to Hell! Thanks for reading, I'm going to join Oct/2016 support thread..

Thats a great lie our addictive self spins.
In fact there's a lot we can do:

Posting here of course helps too, and tho I appreciate you're not into AA there other other meetings based approaches like SMART Recovery and LifeRing as well if you feel you need another tier of support..

If you really don't want to drink, you don't have to

Fortress, I know exactly that feeling it's the pits and sometimes I feel like the harder I try to overcome it,the bigger it builds, you have good distraction techniques I think just being able to use them in time will help,I wish you strength
