10 Days Sober
I am very pleased to say say I am 10 days sober! I now feel like I am breaking free from my 7 months of relapse.
I am feeling better however I am experiencing about 1 hour of intense cravings a day. They craving is around wanting to buy vodka. This is strange as I have poured around 3 bottles of vodka down the sink in the last month.
Last time I drank vodka and beer I vomited and had to call in sick to work. It is therefore not logical to want to buy it again. I think I am in some way addicted phycologically

Hey Stable. That's brilliant man, well done.
There is nothing logical about this.....it took me a long time to realise that logic had nothing to do with it.....I can be lying vomiting on the floor for hours and still want to drink a few days later....I think the trick is to stop looking for logical reasons and just keep doing the things you are doing to stay sober

For me, after about a month I thought there was no longer a need physically.
But, if i count my brain as an organ, physically it was still damaged. I think it never fully goes back to normal.
That is if normal means I don't desire to drink a mind altering neurotoxin.
There are healthy ways to get high. I get a little dopamine from typing this out.
Exercise is my go to move. Eating foods I love is up there. Pretty much any positive stimulus is normal vs needing booze to feel happy.
I have had a low grade cold, not really sick, off and on since mid January. Some days nothing, other days minor aches.
I do train as hard as I can, and I think not working has something to do with my hypochondria.
Hope this helps.
Love.
Thanks.

For myself, drinking was a learned bad habit ...
that learned bad habit was replaced by a new learned good habit of AA meetings.
As I've always attended AA meetings, I've never thought about drinking.
Now, of course, they're all on line Zoom meetings.
