No tearing around anywhere! As my car has broken down I am waiting for the AA who are charging me an extra ?101 for breaking down outside the house!:upset:

Needing to rethink lots of stuff here. I feel well and healthy and glad I am not drinking but every evening i am still getting the cravings. I wake up every day so glad I never gave in but that is not right is it??

Got a bit of a twinge myself Ms A yesterday.
But ...... ye know I said "Satz there is nothing to stop you having a glass of wine" - go ahead if you want it !
Funny when I gave myself permission and lots of wine in press , I said ah maybe not tonight !!

Weird.

MS A - I have breakdown coverage on my Insurance with Axa. Very reasonable and you NEVER have to pay extras. Had them to the houselotsa times even during that mad snow 2 years ago !
Worth looking into ?

L Glut powder under the tongue is mean to stop cravings.
Works for sugar cravings too according to JimJohn

You seem to be AF for a long time to be still getting nightly cravings? I wonder is it the 'habit' part you haven't broken. Like are you doing exactly what you used to do - just not drinking? eg. We used always have our dinner about half seven - eight o clock on a night we were going to have a bottle or two of wine. My modus operendi then was to snaffle a few crafty vodkas from upstairs along with having some wine with Joe while cooking. Now we almost NEVER have dinner after about 6 o clock, unless circumstances intervene - but that was just an automatic change we made, that I didn't even realise till now that we had:H - just a thought --- do something different to the way they used to be??

Thanks Molly I think it is to do with the evening meal ritual. It was after reading your dry drunk analogy on last nights thread I wondered if that is my problem. I need to change the evenings!

Satz if I gave myself permission to drink I just would have drank.

I love having a clear head and feeling fit and healthy so I need to stay vigilant:thanks:

Molls will you tell us sometime about last December and what happened on 26th and leading up to it. You were sober over Christmas = so what happened ? Only if it's not too painful and you are ready. What is different this time - was ir the Centre that did it ?
Did they hit on summit ?
I fear now getting too smug :egad:

Had to pay as I called the AA out but hey ho I will do Axa next year.

Thanks for the feedback Molly and satz. Satz I have the LGlut but do not think my cravings are physical purely mental/habit. I just hope the cravings all fade away like the cigarette habit where I would not dream of having a ciggie but know if I had one-----

YEah I know Ms A:l
I went & took AB after my little debate with myself to avoid decision making again today. Sunday lunch used to be the excuse to crack open a bottle & keep going all day!

Good morning Tips, Runners, Mariooooo, Micks, Our Whizzy, Pinkles, Questy, Mollymoo, Satzuma,

Ooh Mrs A. This is just coming straight of the top of me head. You know when I fell of the smoking wagon just before I went into surgery. I'd forgotten what a real craving was like. I was beside meself the only thing that would get rid of that craving was a great big blast of smoke, nicotine and whatever other chemicals they put in them. This time round after taking the damned pills and using me hypnosis CD I'm finding the only time I'm missing them is when it was habit. After a meal, a sneaky one on the fire escape with the boss, waiting for a bus that kind of thing.

Mebbees it is just a change of routine.

Morning!

Mrs A...I'm with the AA too. Been with them for 22 years. I paid ?124 for my membership this year but never have to pay anything when the car breaks down. They've given me a couple of free upgrades to my membership cos of being with them so long. I've always been very happy with them, but they're not the cheapest.

Oct. had a melt down after a long period 'modding'. Marriage was over, kids hated me -- and major begging and pleading and promising I managed to convince them - and me - that I'd never drink again -- ever.
Jilly was going back to Canada on 28th Dec. and I 'allowed' the thought into my head in early Dec. that I would 'deserve' a drink the day I left her to the airport - the promised sober Christmas etc. would take place - and on 28th, I had no work, I'd be back from the airport in the morning and the house to myself - I actually 'spoke' about it here in the Army to try and 'clear' the thought.
After speaking about it, I realised I couldn't really drink on that day - but the drink thought had still 'gone into' my head, so Christmas Day was around wine and Irish coffee's and shit all day and night - and rather resentfully had none - the next night -- party house again - just nabbed a bottle of wine from the cupboard, went upstairs and drank it. Saw myself necking that wine - the same stuff that was going to finish my marriage, my family and ultimately myself - and I s'pose that was my eureka moment really -- nothing was going to stop me drinking that wine that night.

The treatment centre was another matter - it was truly amazing - far too long a story - but I'd recommend it to anyone - no need to have an addiction - 28 days to look at yourself - learn how to live and how to love life - it was truly mindblowing!
I'm sure when we meet I'll bore you to tears with the bits I've left out there:H

Thanks for that Molls - I cried for the poor unhappy Molls of last December :l
I know I would love that place -just love all that self exploring stuff - have the name from last January when we first met on here - but would be too much explaining to be done and Mr Satz would NEVER play along !!!
I KNOW - I'll kill him ???:H:H:
