Help me please
I am getting really really weak.. I am. It's 3:30pm and Ive had one beer, I've taken my sups but today I am just so happy I want to drink more. I booked my mom';s tickets here to Paris to be with us and I am so happy and excited that I want to drink more. I do, but I don't. My babe is having her nap; I am doing my toes to take my mind off of it, but the craving is getting bad.

GG - Hang in there! Distracting yourself by doing your nails is good - maybe a walk next. I know what you mean about those "happy" cravings. I usually associate those with anticipation of going out somewhere fun or seeing someone I really want to see. It's almost like I'm so excited, I want to put my self in an even better mood while I wait. But I don't quite know why, because I'm already in a happy mood. Those cravings get to me more than my lonely, depressed cravings. Actually anthing can get me going. But I do know how you feel right now and I'm sending my good thoughts.

Do you have any Pepsi in the house? You can shake the bottle for another mini explosion. That would keep your hands busy. LOL
I do have one. But there is no way I am doing that again!
Eeeek! I do look like my avator today. I called my Mom and my Aunt in Canada today already to keep me busy..but mom is too excited about coming to Paris and has already started her thing.

GG, it is very hard in the beginning to find other things to do than drink. One thing I found REALLY helped me is not to have any alcohol in my house. Would that be a possible option for you? You will still have those 'skin crawling' urges but the immediate temptation won't be there. If I had any alcohol in my home in the early days I wouldn't of even made it past day 3 - swear to God! Also, when shopping I went to a grocery store that didn't have a liquor store near it. I had to completely change my routine.
I know you can do it girl! It is HAAAAARD - but you are worth it!
