    Into temptation - I want to drink!

    Well it's the next morning from the temptation-before. I lay in bed thinking what I would be feeling like right now if I did drink......

    I probably would not have had a hangover, possibly seediness from not drinking for so long, but I know I would of been really thirsty, hate that feeling.

    There was no thoughts of guilt, inner guilt.

    I didnt have to think hard about 'what did I do' or 'why did I say that' type dialogue in my head...

    My heart is beating at a normal pace this morning (Valentines Day and all - good thing), no palpitations.

    No where in my body is it feeling 'weird', that heartburning kinda feel.

    And I'm $25 richer (I was planning on buying Vodka, thinking it would be better calorie wise)



    IKIT - yeah I nearly didnt post about my overbearing urge to drink because I just didnt want to admit it, then I thought this is the whole point of joining here. I seriously was going to get a drink last night, I had forward planned, I could imagine myself drinking it, I really felt it was going to be no big deal.

    This morning, I 100% realise it IS a big deal if I drank, I actually said out loud to myself when I woke "thank god you didnt!"

    Hello day 19

    Now can someone tape my mouth shut so I dont put one iota of food in there, far out, where did THIS craving come from???
    Wake me up low with a fever~Walking in a straight line~ Set me on fire in the evening~Everything will be fine~Waking up strong in the morning~Walking in a straight line~Lately I?m a desperate believer~But walking in a straight line

      YAY!

      I'm so pleased for you that you were strong :goodjob:

      All the above reasonings you've listed there are things I have to tell myself when I am tempted, it is exactly the set of emotions I've gone through after a bad night before.


      I hope you feel really proud of yourself that you are posting such a positive message this morning!

          Yeah thanks Hovercat (ha! love your avatar, I have to take my cat to the vet this morning first time in many years)

          Like it has been mentioned, it IS amazing how after - the cravings go - and at the time you just dont believe they will pass. No way yesterday could I really see myself backing out, other thoughts came over too strong.
          This morning particularly, thinking about do I want to drink, it was answered with a YUK NO! - definately no yuk no's going on yesterday!
          Amazing. I subscribe to Satori's way of keeping it in the moment, knowing the future consequences, but dealing with the moment.

            Awesome to fight the urges and temptation!!! I found that even though I am on day 2 holy crap the amount of things out there everywhere that are temptation triggers. I went to the grocery store to get wrapping paper and isles and isles all over the store beer, champagne, wine ahh rounding the corner of the wrapping paper isle there was one of my fav Guiness I walked briskly past it. Then on the radio bar commercial, alcohol commericals maybe it is all in my head now that I notice these things so much but who knows. I am glad to see the urges do not get everyone maybe that gives me a fighting chance.

              Hey Satori. LMAO!! You really got me going with that one. Now that your secret is out how do we protect ourselves from your invasive species planned world take-over?

              Oh Straight. I really admire your openess with you struggles. I am such a private, almost secretive person. I don't know what I'm afraid of revealing that any human being hasn't also experienced. Especially here. Congratulations on another AF day and Happy Valentines Day!

                  Hi Hula,

                  If I told you THAT - I would have to wipe your memory immediately afterwards - and that involves filling LOADS of forms for permission from Zarg head office - an the time difference is incredible - getting someone at their desks when they are 46.679234534567 light years away is almost impossible!.

                  Best if we just say nothing and let this little slip out of our identities quietly be forgotten.

                  Besides - why would we want to take over THIS planet - you earthlings have all but ruined it!

                  NO - we just want quietly to mine your peanut butter/cheese sandwiches.

                  (See - us Zargons are far superior to you earthlings - we don't even split our infinitives! We laugh at your Star Trek transmissions SO much back home!)

                  Love

                      Hey Danny - don't worry I am always posting this - or similar - rubbish and I am stone cold sober too

                      I'm just not so sure about "sane" - tho' :H .

                        You know Straight, that those who look thrice your age are actually the same age as you. Look what alcohol and cigarettes can do to a women's looks. Be healthy, Be happy and find Peace.
                        Love.

                          Be my hero and don't drink! Fight through this! I am not losing weight either, but I know that I don't want to drink. I want to keep up the fight. I know it is the right thing to do. Please do it for me, with me!

                            I know exactly how you feel. I am toying with the idea tonight too and I'm only 3days AF. I need meds that take away the craving. Or do I? Actually, my truest problem is not knowing how to say NO. Social situationss are killer for me, I feel I have to partake because all my business associates are. Stupid I know. But hang in there. If you could just have one drink, would that be it for the night? I don't think I could answer yes.

                              Hulagirl, I think you are right there. One particular woman I was watching near me I'm sure was my age - and without sounding too rude - that wine after wine did nothing for her.

                              Croft, how you doing? Hope your spirits (internal not bottle wise) are doing fine. I'm doing with you hon.xx

                                Hi StraightLines. I'm glad you didn't take that drink too. 18 AF days is GREAT. Good for you. I too am wanting the weight to come off. I know, one thing at a time. I am so glad I found this place.

                                Miso
