Try this Big MO, Its a delaying tactic that works for me sometimes when the urges get really strong.....drink a large amount of water......up to 1.5 litres...enough to fill your stomach and make you feel full. For me this immediatley takes away any urges to drink. It might buy you some time to think through your next step and the other thing is that it is getting some much needed fluid into you. I drink this amount over a three hour period but if your urge is very very strong, drink up to 500ml in one go. Its worth a try MO. All the best to you.

Sorry I,m Moaning again,
:wow: Good morning from sunny UK , Today is day 6 AF and I feel good , The pains and aches are finally leaving and the benefits of just 6 days AF are kicking in, im still mindful how easy our joy turns to pain again and we end up back at day 1 therefore i may sound confidant however I am still thinking ODAT, still scared and still coming back to MWO , All of the reasons why i made it to 6 days, I read the first post I wrote at the start of this thread and if I do have a slip I wont be back to day 1 again because I will start the old excuses and day 1 will be put off until tomorrow as I may as well have another drink the second night and the road to slow painful suicide starts again because the amount of alcohol I was consuming could only lead to one ending . I also find I am thinking things over before making decisions where as before I would have jumped in and then regretted it the following day. I really am grateful to the People on this site for their words of advice and encouragement , I have been a member here for 3 years and yet starting over again, To all the newbies I am not qualified to give advice but please read other members stories ( surprising how many experiances we have in common )and ask questions but most of all keep coming back, things I wish i had 3 years ago. Take care Mo.

Sorry I,m Moaning again,
BIG MO,......There are two days in every week we should not worry about....... two days which should be kept from Fear & Apphension,
One of these days is Yesterday with all its faults & blunders and its aches & pains, Yesterday has passed forever beyound our control, All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday, We cannot undo a sinle act performed or erase a single word said, Yesterday is gone
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow
Tomorrow is beyond our control, it has not arrived......yet. Tomorrow,s sun will raise, whether in splendour or behind a mask of clouds. but it will rise. until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow.This leaves only one day........TODAY. Anyone can fight the battles of just one-day. It is when you add the burdens of those awfull two days together......Yesterday & Tomorrow.....that we break down.........
Let us therefore live one day at a time......Hope this helps you can do it.
