Thank you!!! I made it past the time when i would have succumbed....I just plowed through and tried to not think about it.....I actually paused for about 5 minutes - we have several bottles of red wine (i was a white wine drinker) but thought about how horrible I would feel afterward.....and I didn't do it!!!
Thanks to you guys....I probably would have if I did not get encouragement from all of you!!!
Day 12 done
On to Day 13 after a blissful night's sleep....

Good thread htide. Hang tough. Reading these posts is just what I needed tonight. I'm not really craving AL but have been tired and achy. My mind always says drink for pain. I drank for many other reasons but after reading here it makes me think like everyone says ~~ do I want a hangover or a sleepless nite or another day 1 or a DUI or a guilty conscience or another ..............??
No, definitely not. That is why I come here and read, post & think through all this. Thanks for all the posts to inspire me through the doldrums. Take care all and remember why we are here.

made mistake of skipping breakfast and lunch and dealing with lots of stress grenades going off at work and in personal life...other than that its a great day......going to get some food and avoid the hungry angry lonely tired thing, well, at least the hungry part....fear beer my old best friend....18 and counting.....been reading about this Irish Saint named Matt Talbot, patron saint of drunks like me, been praying to him as well which given my past lack of faith is funny and surprisingly comforting,,,,any port in a storm, especially when it helps, which it does,,,,thanks for listening,,,gotta go eat.
