Hi there everyone, Hope all is going very well with everyone.
I'm staying strong, no alcohol, they only time I really craved it was just after my relapse, and now the cravings are not as strong, when they do come on I just say outloud "Stop" and then I say a little prayer. I know I'm not out of the woods, as everyday I'll have to keep my guard up but just for today I will not drink!! :)
Thanks for all your support you guys!!

Hi Love-Dove...those cravings in the beginning are tough...I would think them out...from the first sip to where I would end up...which was never pretty...they do lessen and with working the program, some time, tools, support...one day you will realize they are gone...
Today when I have a mental craving...a split second thought...I still think it out...I still remember very clearly what drinking did to me...and how much I never what to go back to those dark days...

Hi guys
glad to hear things are improving LD. Yes I'm the same now. The obsession has basically gone but I still get thoughts. I too play the tape all the was to the end now. My head feels so clear and I feel so alert these days, I just remind myself of how crap I used to feel like I was slogging through mud mentally and physically all day long. Of the mental anguish and the misery.
That really makes the thought of a drink unappealing.

Hey Lovedove
I also look for the fear behind the graving after i too have thought were that drink will take me, there may not always be a fear that causes it sometimes my addiction can try and tell me that now i have all these new morals and confidance, that maybe i can handle a drink but i am too scared to go there that is my healthy fear

Hi LD, Sounds like you are doing really well......I not sure if I missed it in your posts but did you get to a meeting yet?
I find the most evil influence is thought! Talking myself into another binge is the biggest problem!!!
