    Temptation

    Hi all

    Just got back from the supermarket. Whilst in there I found myself in the booze aisle, and glancing at the vodka thinking ' I should get a bottle for over xmas, i can drink it secretly in the kitchen while cooking the dinner- no-one will know and it'll will make me more jolly' but I know that it wont make me jolly, and my husband will know, and it wont stop there will it? i'll drink all day, and the next and the next, and my kids will have a miserable xmas. So I walked straight past the vodka and went to the checkout. It's the first real craving i've had since stopping on nov 30th, thank god i got through it x

      Well done sweet. To have your first bad craving 3 weeks after stopping is great. Its going to happen, and i often have disillusioned thoughts of how a a couple of bottles of white wine would be a 'good idea' Of course, like you it would end in a 3 day binge and id end up hating myself, and missing my daughter.

          Good on you! Give yourself a pat on the back and spend the money on something nice for yourself.

                    Thanks everyone, normally I would have given in but the thought of throwing all my af days away and all the support you guys have given me gave me the strength to stop myself x

                      I find myself doing that all the time Sweet. Or I see a women in the check out in front of me with some bottles of wine and think, HOW lucky she is she can probably stop after one or two drinks, but then think....maybe that's what others thought of ME.

                      I rewarded myself yesterday with some new pretty cloth napkins! Much better than a hangover!

                      Good JOB!!!!!

                          The grocery store was a bad spot for me too. Glad to hear you passed it by. They have an entire isle dedicated to just cold beer. Yikes!!! Way to go sweet.
