Today is hard.
LM... good for you, for handling those thoughts... you know very well that the thoughts do not represent the true situation.... a glass of wine is not "nice," and it leads to so much misery... Don't let yourself (your mind) get involved in romanticized fantasies about alcohol, OK? It makes us very unhappy, and leads to relapse... Not drinking is something to be grateful for, not something that deprives us of a good thing...

Lil.M... I used to do the same thing... glass of wine while having a bath. Well, while doing anything, really.
I've started making a cup of tea to take to the bath with me... after all, we want to RELAX, right? Maybe you'll want to give it a try... I'm actually enjoying it
Well done on fending off 'those' thoughts!Okay, WHO put a stop payment on my reality check?

Michelle, I'm WAY into overcompensation and substitutes. I love my sparkling pear cider in a wine glass, and an oatmeal cookie to cut the cravings. Get some bath salts, so do the bath -and- make it special. Find some music and make it an event. Do some stretches before, and find a fluffy novel to read, and make it a celebration of what a special person you are.
It works for me to make little things such a big production that the alcohol is not missed. Besides, I deserve it, right?
