        OK guys.... I am reaching out. Make sure that I keep AB in my system. I have not had cravings like this for 3 months. :thanksbubble:
        Also, remind me that I do not drink. I wasn't expecting this.
        I'm so grateful that I have you all to depend on. :hug:

          Play it all the way through Nora, you know how it ends. You don't want to remember this trip for the wrong reasons. You've come so far, get some kind of replacement, and eat!

            Nora my lovely, great job on taking the AB. Now you CAN'T drink so think of anything else but drinking. Think of how proud you and your hubs will be that you took care of your mom and made her No.1 instead of AL. Your mom and hubs will be so proud of you for knowing they came FIRST. Please remember, they will love you for it and show it, AL doesn't care! I am here for you, Nora!!

              Nora...:hug: Keep popping the AB, whatever it takes. There is nothing about this situation that alcohol can't make worse. You have come so far, friend! Keep on your path, one foot in front of the other.

                Oh, geez...I would have died of embarrassment, Pauly! I guess it's a good thing I've never carried a purse...

                    Nora, hang in there. It will get better. Everything is just happening now, you will feel so much better for not drinking. Sending big hugs your way and I had better see you in the blankie fort!
                    Mama, got the job? You go girl! And your get to work at home? That would be my dream job.
                    Rusty, glad you took a minute to post, I always love hearin from you!
                    Pauly, yes I did see the picture of Winslow. I do see the resemblance. He certainly doesn't look crazy or wild. Nice and mellow like Lucy. What kind of dog is he?
                    Fen, what are you up to this weekend? I too have spilled wine in my purse, and hairspray.
                    I was at work by six this morning and never even stopped for lunch. I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.
                    Nora please stay close and let us help you, you can do this!

                      Nora, great job getting through the flight AF! You got this!! :hug: Now, get into some dry clothes when you get to your mom's!
                      Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
                      Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.
                      Friendship is not about how many friends you have or who you've known the longest. It's about who walked into your life, said "I'm here for you", and proved it.

                        Have my clothes in the washer and I'm fixing dinner. Thank you all so much. It just shocked me how intense the cravings were. I'm so glad I brought the AB.

                          Hey Nora, you are around 3 months aren't you? I think it is really common for people to experience strong cravings at certain milestones. I did last time. 3,6,9 months etc. Not sure why but it is quite well documented Hang in there cos it passes. I am still getting cravings and am on day 13 I just have to remind myself that I no longer drink and have to find another way to get rid of them.

                            Thanks Starty - I didn't know that. That info helps because I was shocked by the intensity. I was much better later but I had a bad 4 hours of drinking thinking.

                            I am having headaches from the AB so will skip it tomorrow. But, will definitely keep it handy.

                            I'll post more tomorrow. Lots to bend your ears with but haven't turned on my laptop yet. So, fair warning. LOL

                              Forgot about the. Boredom factor. Our habit is to get together on lanai with a drink before dinner and discuss our day. We did the same last night....drink being tonic water. All I kept thinking about was getting dinner on the table and getting it over with.

                              In order for this to work, dinner is going to have to be much earlier. I remember someone saying when they quit they ate an apple at 4:00 and had dinner at 5:00.

                              Nora, glad you made it! And glad it was coke and not beer. Poor Pauly!

                              Looks like a beautiful day. Have 8:33 tee time so better get ready. Got through Friday and here's to a first Saturday in a long time!
                              The pain of discipline is less than the pain of regret.
