      Suggestion: Watch something that is pertains to your quitting or positive thinking or the like. I enjoy Wayne Dyer's DVD's. You may not have anything like that but you might consider having on hand for later. Again, just a thought.

        The first days can be so difficult-- it can be pure war and it's necessary to fight with everything you have. Sometimes it has to be taken minute by minute-- have you read the toolbox? There are some great ideas in there-- Do whatever you have to do NOT to drink. Trust what the "oldies" here are promising, They ARE telling the truth, it does get easier-- earlier for some, later for others, but it does. Give yourself the gift of sobriety..a chance to at least look at things from a different perspective. You can do it!
        Have you eaten something? Do you have some nice AF drinks? Let us know how you are..Your first concern is just this day, Tomorrow you can worry about tomorrow, yeah?

          I have to say goodnight-- I'm dead tired and required to get up EARLY!!
          I'll brew a nice pot of coffee and have something yummy to go with it for all of you-- unless DO beats me to it...

              CWO? 5:00 pm and watching TV are a deadly combination (at least for me). I suggest getting out of the house when the cravings hit in the trigger times. Go for a walk, or the mall or something, but sitting in your favourite chair is probably the worst place to be.

              Good luck?. the craving will end
              I would rather have a frontal labotomy than a bottle in-front-of-me.

                  I thought I look better than a stickman with a cape?.

                      Agree with WBG and this being just an awful trigger 100%! CWO - get up and do something or go eat something, even if it's fattening, just don't put yourself in the position of doing something that you associate with drinking right now. Do you have a dog? They're always game for a hike. Or, clean out a cupboard. Anything, just mix up your routine right now and your cravings will pass quicker than you think once you focus on something else.

                      Hang in there!

                          Take a hot bath, read a good book, go to bed early. Just make it through today.

                            CW, eating is the silver bullet to this thing...eat until you are FULL (like on Thanksgiving!!) Great suggestions by the group...set yourself on a task and distract yourself! Whatever it takes to get thru this day...heck, go to bed early if all else fails!!!
                            Hang with us, you will NOT regret it!!

                            Another crazy day at work....glad to see the holiday coming!! Hugs to all, B
                            All you gotta do, is get thru this day. AF 1/20/2011

                              Byrdie, we're going to have to install extra supports to hold the nest up with everyone eating like crazy :H Just kidding - I know eating really does help get through those early days

                              Sobers holidays ROCK everyone - trust me

                                Hello... I don't know if anyone remembers me from a couple of months ago but um trying to make a comeback lol... If u don't then no bother I feel like I could just quietly fester here please. Damn phone making it harder where I used to have my laptop( I broke it in drunken rage). I've been reading a lot and your making me hungry. Ive done so well I thought I was clever, I thought I was fine. I've been soo good. Tonight al has stolen my tomorrow morning. I know that already! But it can fuck off (scuse the French) if it's having Thursday morning as well!
