Starting to get cravings..

Hi Katie,

Well done for riding out the craving. I was going to say, I have a picture of myself on my iphone of me the last morning after a huge binge. Such a grim reminder of the damage that is always lurking out there. But good on you! Keep it up!

Hey Katie B!! You and I have the same AF date!! yay! lets hang in there together. I've had some tough times lately too, and I've tried to quit soooo many times that I KNOW I can't moderate so I'm done.
What I'm doing new this time around is AA and it has really helped me. Even if I can't go to a meeting I think about what is said in the meetings and the faces of the people struggling and the ones who have many years of sobriety and how serene and joyful they are and I keep my eye on the prize!

Hang in there so we can keep the same birthday!

Hi Cherbear!
That's great!! Let's do this journey together.. Day 24 for us today! AA is not something I have been to myself, but I have considered it; I am in counselling though and have a supportive partner who so helps me keep away from AL, along with this site.. being AF is joyful, I have to remember all the pluses to not drinking, and there are many.. most of all, the fact I dont have any regrets and have done no stupid things now for over a month!
