Bad Crave :(
Bad Crave :(
Hi - 21 days today. I just finished a round of golf and by around the 7th or 8th hole, thoughts of beer began to plague me. Yesterday my husband finished the last of his beer (only 5) and didn't buy anymore. There was no alcohol in the house. Normally he takes inventory and makes a beer run in the morning, but he didn't go this morning. I had hopes he was trying to quit. So, we finished golfing and now my husband caved and is now making a beer run. Darn! I know he's probably craving since today would have been his 1st day. This is a very tough time for me and my AV is making me feel sorry for myself. I will not drink! I planned for this scenario when I first quit and my plan was to have a sparkling water (which I'm doing) and post here (which I'm doing). I'm also going to read SR posts.
21 days is great! My DH continues to drink too. It makes it more difficult, but you CAN do this. If I did, anyone can! Hang in there and keep going. It really DOES get easier, the more time you have behind you.
BTW, my go-to drink in the past year has been:
1 squeezed fresh lime over ice with 1/4 c cranberry juice (I use low sugar), then fill the glass up to the top with lime seltzer water. It is SO refreshing! Give it a try!

Good job sticking to your plan! I've quit going to Mexican restaurants because the drinks are too tempting. I hope in the future the cravings aren't so strong, because a life without Mexican food is sad indeed.
