Look at our little Drifty go!!! :wd:

Do you get cravings very often? How do you keep the "bad" side of alcohol fresh in your mind?

I still get cravings but they are more farther apart now and so weak. I keep the bad side of Alcohol fresh in my mind by going here daily and reminding myself of the bad stuff that Alcohol brings to me.

Same here Drifty...if I ever "forget" what alcohol has done to me, all I need to do is look at some of my own posts recalling my past antics **cringe**

Keep up your great work!!! :happy:

Thanks and another thing that I do now and then is to look up wasted/hungover videos on youtube and that helps as well.

Contests! I am lose behind at almost 14 months sober! Cravings come and go, I just think of the horrible feeling knowing my kids went to bed without a goodnight kiss from mom, morning nausea and shakes, sweating beer out of my pores all day at work, swollen face, blackouts..

Awesome job Laurel!
I think for 10 years ALL I could taste was beer because it was part of my DNA. And the nights I went out driving to get more beer and telling my daughter I was going to the store to buy her candy...that way it was OK.... Gawd...and I was usually wearing my pants with the hole in the butt cheek. I mooned that poor guy at the Liquor store more times than I can count.
