I have a serious problem. I just went on a 21 day cleanse...during that time I took a cleanse from GNC and also amino acids...during that time I did not drink any alcohol. Surprising to me..but I didn't even crave alcohol. I finished my cleanse Friday...I have been trying to drink everyday sense. I literally have poured a glass of wine every night before bed in an attempt to drink...my body does not want it...WHY ON EARTH am I attempting to force myself to drink????? I have mediated, prayed, and cleansed to get my body to stop craving alcohol...it worked!!and for the life of me I cannot understand why I am trying to force my body to drink...Can anyone explain?
It is as though your mind and your body are two seperate entities, your body does not require the alcohol but your mind is craving it.
My suggestion is to get yourself to AA meetings, they really will help.
Good luck.

there is more to us than just our physical bodies Don't forget emotions, mind, fears and habits they are all a part of who we are ( and a lot harder to understand than our physical bodies). Accept the fact that your mind/emotions may need to heal and grow; habits may need to be overcome.....
Be proud of the progress you have made thus far, remember to be thankful for each sober/clean day and cultivate optimism for the future and maybee sobriety will start to become a habit....
Keep posting, keep asking your self questions.... use this board, go to meetings, don't use nuthin ya don't got...
Congrats on the progress you have made this far and don't forget to take it,

Um... 'Cause you're alcoholic?
For most of us, drinking isn't the problem: It's a SYMPTOM of the bigger problem. Most of us have a serious deficiency of spiritual health, or hidden fears (real or imagined), or serious resentments--and likely all the above. We drink for different reasons but if the body were able to tell the brain anything that would stick we'd never get to the point of being powerless over alcohol and unable to manage our lives the way other people do.
The good news? There's hope and there's help for those who are willing to do anything to get it. And it costs nothing.

I had to drink because I had an "obsession of the mind" coupled with an "allergy of the body" in regard to alcohol. By the grace of God, and also gratitude to AA and working the Steps (the Program) I no longer obsess on or crave alcohol.
