Yay, 43 days, you're doing it girl! Remember just take it one day at time and ask for the obsession and craving to be removed. Thank God as you hit the pillow everynight for another day sober. You're doing great and I am proud of you! Always think the drink through...don't forget your last drunk and remember it's easier to stay sober than to get sober.

I was surprised to be hit with cravings after I was done detoxing physically.
I guess that had to do with the phychological aspect of the addiction.
I am praying that the phychological addiction be removed and it is working.
Thank God, cause I couldn't have held on much longer the way it was going.

Cailyn ~ Great job! Again, it's just for 24 hours that we don't drink. Sometimes moment by moment. When I was a few days sober I told my Sponsor that all I needed to do is drink a little bit and do a couple lines and I was totally obsessing on it...I thought I needed that to clean the kitchen. Well, she said forget about the kitchen it all will still be there...just get down on your knees and pray for the craving and obsession to be removed and don't get up until it passes...I was there for a while, but guess what it worked!
Yeah its crazy the way that we think we need something to function when the reason we had to quit in the first place was that we couldn't function anymore.

Cailyn, So true. Have a good weekend.
That's a good way of putting it, Cailyn!
My need to "function" got so bad that I would drink before work, during lunch, and all the way home. It was bad.
And there were times were I would mix s*** like Coke and rum (although I never really got into liquor) and take it to work with me and sit it on my desk!
That's nuts. No wonder I was so sick half the time.

DG - Me too, cranberry and vodka at the desk!
Yeah actually you are right. Vodka was pretty concealable.
Did your coworkers ever suspect it or did you ever get into trouble? Mine never.
I would of been fired on the spot, as I imagine anyone would.

DG~I too would have been fired on the spot...I work at a Corporation that requires background investigations, etc....I've been employed at this Corporation for almost 22 years now. No one ever confronted me about my condition (I always prided myself on my stamina, and showing up no matter how bad I felt). I would be a professional woman by day and then at night turned in to quite the "Rager" - in my own home though. Thank God during my last "spree" I had the wherewithal to call my EAP and tell them I needed help. I don't share with everyone at work that I attend AA, but some of my close co-workers know I'm sober. I use to go out after work with some these folks and manage and control my drinking but not enjoy while out in public, but at home all bets were off...I enjoyed my drinking then because I didn't have to manage and control it...my children suffered because of it....thank God I don't have to lead that sneaky, double life any longer. Hope you are well.
