I got cocky! Lesson learned...

HD that's how I felt yesterday, and I certainly wasn't looking forward to a long drive. Ease into the rest of the day, keep it simple. When you feel the way you do, you need to treat it as an illness.

I got cocky! Lesson learned...

Me too! Me too! I have this same problem. After a couple of days around 4 or 5 the memories seem to fade and I think "I am ok, I am ready to drink again." I am at day 9 today and about two days ago I thought I was going to leap out of my skin for a drink. Didn't I desearve it?

However, as I read many posts on here, my feelings do differ a bit. I don't know if any other feels the same, but when I start thinking about being ok to drink, I am not thinking about moderation. I want to really let loose. Honestly thinking of having only one or two drinks makes me more anxious than not having any.

I would love to be able to take it or leave it like my husband, but that just isn't in the cards. He is an anomoly though. He can drink one or two and then done, not drink for two weeks, then last night he had 5 a dinner and then anther 6 when we came home watching football till 2 in the morning. Didn't get drunk and out the door by 8 am bright eyed and bushy tailed. Bastard! LOL He has nursing down to a science. I only the other hand have no concept of the meaning.

I am rambling I know but I guess for now I just have to take it one day at a time. Thinking about the future and where this will take me is overwhelming.

Hang in there all!
