Hey all.
I have asked this question sooooooo any times. I think it also may be the answer to how i've managed to get through my 30 days (tomorrow is day 29)
Everytime, i had those cravings and reached for some wine, i think to myself, WHAT IS THE BLOODY POINT... I think, what good will it do me, what bad will it do me.
This would become a fight in my head. I'd feel like i was going CRAZY but you know what, it worked. I'd list the things it would do to me, good and bad and think of the horrible things i've done when drunk.
This 'fight' got smaller and smaller the more i realised and drummed into my own head the drink is NOT going to save me, NOT going to solve my problems and is NOT going to go away unless i really grit my teeth and deal with the cravings and fights. Now what happens, is i get the cravings and just go, no, not good.. my brain goes through the bad points in a few seconds and off i go, no drink in hand.
I think alot about quiting is realising that it can not help, no matter how much it numbs us, it just will make us worse.
SOOOOOOOO next time you have a craving or go to pick up that bottle, come on this thread and write the positve list and negative list... Just see if it helps. If it doesn't, sorry but maybe it'll help a little.

I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
