I am at 208 days and sometimes, including tonight, I feel the urge to drink because maybe this time I would be able to control it. It's that old common trap where the Addicted Voice tries to lure me back in.
Luckily I just know that I won't be able to control it. I know that once I feel that buzz I will chase more of it and drink myself into a drunken stupor. And then tomorrow I will start drinking again, while I begin planning on quitting again, which will take months or years and would be facilitated by an all new desperate low.
I just can't do it. I can't go there again. I hope this resolve continues to stay with me.
Thanks for your post.

Sometimes, no news is good news

Actually, there is quite a bit of "awesome" in that. I may have been able to do it alone. I'm not sure. I just know that when I reached out for help, things got a whole not easier and way more productive.

It's so impressive that you came for help. Congrats on 568 days, that's fantastic. I'm sure you will get your mojo back soon- good for you going to a meeting pronto. Thanks for posting.
