    What the heck...

    It's 3:23 AM and here I sit wide awake. I've been here many times before. I have a water bottle full of yummy lemon water, nice and cold. It tastes so refreshing and good. Every part of me loves it, and that's coming from someone who used to struggle to stay hydrated.

    I'm contemplating having a drink to help me get back to sleep. I know that if I do it will not taste as good as the water. It will burn going down and once it hits my digestive system it will wreak havoc there. My liver doesn't want it either.

    It's just my brain - that's the only part of me that wants that drink. What the heck is up with that? How can a rational person want so badly to put something poisonous and deadly into their body? How can a person rationalize taking a drink when they know for a fact that it is one of the least healthy things they can do for themselves? I just don't get it.
    Well it's all right now. I've learned my lesson well. You see you can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.

    What the heck...

    Its sick I know...looks like we are in the same time zone. Lol! In the very beginning I had that debate for hours at a time. Its habit I guess, your brain is just on auto pilot. Its a good sign that your aware of "the voice" though. A lot harder to sneak up on you when you know its there.

      Cool - whereabouts are you? I'm in PA.

      It's not the sneaking up that gets me. It's the constant nagging voice - something's missing, something's missing, something's missing.

        I'm in Canada.

        What I meant to say is that because your aware of the nagging you can confront it. Its less likely to sneak up on you. You will feel less and less like somethings missing once your mind gets use to it. But yes, its a pain in the ass especially since you know there is no logic to it. When I'm good and ready to call it a night, ill lie on my back, and just visualize my future as I'd like it to be,now that I'm not ddrinking pretty much anything is possible lol... eventually I fall asleep with a smile on my face. What are u doing to kill time?

          That voice goes.....you have been running your brain and body on the wrong fuel for so long you have turned yourselves into alcohol/food hybrids. LITERALLY.

          Now you are asking your body to run ONLY on food and all the metabolic pathways to convert food to energy are stuffed by your past actions

          SO the brain screams at you for the quick fix of alcohol as fuel. It doesn't know it is poisonous.

          Alcohol also causes the release of pleasurable endorphins which you are now missing.

          WHAM ! Craving !

          It takes time to change your enzymes etc back which is why you must eat well and plenty because you don't get all the nutrients out of the food as a normal person would.
          That is why supplements help.

          Patience, your 'Prius' days are numbered

            Your brain has been wired wrong for so long it is going to take time for it to re - wire.

            I know it sucks but time is the only way. It will get better, keep fighting the good fight.

            I struggled to sleep, my doc gave me some sleeping tablets that helped.
            If drinking is interfering with your work, you're probably a heavy drinker. If work is interfering with your drinking, you're probably an alcoholic.

                    SIREN, today starts my day 7..I woke up an hour ago with the same voice....today is grocery shoping day. AL is not in the house, but the evil voice was reminding me of the many ways it can get back into my house. It told me "Oh, just buy some...have it for later, just in case, ya know?" Well, stomp that voice. Get behind me evil voice.
                    SIREN, your post helped me with the stomping.
