Take extreme measures to reamin booze free!

[martye]

Hi Team, just a quick follow up on my adventures last night. I am on no way writing this to brag so please don?t take it in the wrong way.

When cravings seem to strong there are always steps you can take to ensure you don?t slip! Last night my cravings were terrible for hours on end, phone call after phone call asking me to the pub I was ready to give in.

Instead I locked myself out of my house and slept on my back lawn for the night. It rainined half way through the night and I just laughed, I was wet and cold but I knew I had no physical way to touch booze for the night.

No pub or bottle shop is in walking distance from my house. Although I was cold and wet and I knew I was sober. When the sun came up I felt such peace. I had made it through the night booze free!

Do what you have to do team to remain clean, there are always options.
My parents had spare keys and drop them off this morning.

You can stay off the booze, get creative, get courage, do outrages things but don?t touch another drop of that evil poison!

Cheers
Marty

:H Marty - that's a great story. Locking yourself out of your own home just to get away from the booze :goodjob: and worthy of a chapter in a book.

It aint braggin mate - it just shows what determination you have. You got the courage to do this. Well done.

Amazing! Brilliant story Martye and I love and admire the determination to get through the night.

I did something similar but not as uncomfortable as you to get away from pills recently. Went to the arse end of nowhere for a week to get off them.

Dont think I would have considered a night in my garden though :H

Very well done Marty, this episode is an inspiration to us all! There will be craves at some point or the other, that is when we need to pull out all tools at our disposal and more.
