Craving big time

Nearly six months sober and outta nowhere im having a massive crave for booze!

I'm very stressed lately but didn't think booze would come back to screw with me!

Right at five-six months I had a really hard time too, Chilled.

It was weird...and it passed. Don't forget to ask our permission BEFORE you drink.

There are 130 members logged on and over 1500 lurkers right now. I am going to go out on a limb and say all 1630 of them would deny that request. I knew my tribe had my back. We've got yours too.

I have cravings at day 8 and I’m sure I’ll have them for the rest of my life

6 months?! That is awesome. If I recall correctly you were having a rough go of it for a while.

But I am sure the cravings are commonplace for former addicts. Especially when stress pops up. Just today I was thinking how great it would be to have a drink, and escape for a while. But that is a bad idea.

Hang in there. Just remember how bad it would be if you started drinking again, and how terrible you would feel.

Again, congrats. You have incredible strength.

Do y'all in the UK have access to HBO shows in the U.S. ? If you can watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, that would be awesome. I love that show. One of the best sitcom's ever!

Oh, Lordy. No wonder you're agoraphobic.

If I believed even the regular news (which I don't watch, BTW) I would be afraid to leave my bedroom.

It’s normal. Ride it out flexing your sober muscles. The cravings will pass and the longer you starve the AV the better!

You are doing great!!! Glad you posted and relied on us !
