d'ya know Starty - those two years between my heavy drinking period and this quit - it just revolved around indulging those 'wants' -- I won't call them cravings -- I wasn't craving -- or -- god I dunno I find it hard to describe -- but the THINKING became obsessional -- and it went from 'can I - will I?' to 'when will I?' -- round and round on a merry go round --- once those thoughts/feelings/wants became an absolute impossibility -- (I put that down to all I learned in rehab) - they could no more be pandered to than that I could fly to Mars -- it all went away -- it disappeared --- and a little bit like NS said back in that post -- 'they simply haven't DECIDED to become non-drinkers yet' ---- THAT is the key --- shit -- who am I lecturing to --- this is ridiculous -- not gonna delete tho cos some of it makes sense -- xxxx

Starty, one of my "rules" was that I had to come on MWO and post my intentions b/f I drank. I figured if an online forum was my only source of support, I'd better use it! Just the pause taken to write it out was usually enough and then, given that someone almost always is online, I got responses reminding me why I'm here in the first place. You don't have to fight those feelings alone - share them with people who know exactly what you're talking about.

Plus the small things, Roxy said something the other day, She would be too afraid to take a drink now - that did hit me, she's right, I dont know where that would end.
Posts from new people really help too cos they are often full of the pain (a reminder) and hope. Molly was great here there other day, as were others..AF - July 19th 2015 :happy2:

Every xmas it hits me in the new year that I REALLY want a drink. I even told my son yesterday how much I wanted to get drunk.
I think it is the relief of surviving the drinking fest!
Don't sweat it... it is only something if you think it is!
