I am about ready to cave!!

[Honeysoup]

I have felt really good about my quit but today or right now that doesn't sound so good. I want my wine!!! This fucking sucks that I have to be an alcoholic and can't control my drinking after a certain point. DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT!!!

I found when that voice of AL comes and tries to temp you to keep it simple. Simply say no instead of trying to rationalize about it. Also find your cravings Kryptonite, for me it is Butterfinger ice cream. A bowl of that destroys any craving I have ASAP and usually for the rest of the night.

Honey it gets better, may not seem like that but it truly does. Those cravings are bastards but ride them out you will never regret it. Dont pick up that first glass it is not worth it. Keep busy or eat eat and eat some more.

Kradle good idea those alco docs are an eye opener when you want a drink. So very sad and we are so very damn lucky to still be here.

I've wanted to eat more the last few days. Sounds like that is normal. I'm emotionally exhausted today. Now I just want to sleep.

Cher i dont think i have stopped eating yet. Sweet foods but i figure i will lose those few extra kgs later. Wine had so much sugar in it so my body still craves it. Sleep wow or lack of in the early days. I just was so bone tired but i came home from work and napped as i knew i would be awake at midnight or whatever so i slept when i needed, listen to your body, we cant just stop al and expect to sleep like normal people. the last couple of weeks i have been sleeping 6-7 hours and it is a deep restful sleep and now i am nearly normal. It feels good. My worst problem were headaches but these are getting less now also.

I know it's hard Honey. Distract yourself in anyway possible. Take a walk, take a bath. Read a book. Go to sleep. Just get through this craving and the next one will be easier. Do you have alcohol in the house?

Hang in there Honey. After the day I had I would love to get lost in a bottle, but then I will feel like crap tomorrow and get nothing done

Honey,
You certainly made the right choice in coming here!! I caved last weekend and really hated myself for it. Don't do the same. You've come a long way. Read some suggestions in the toolbox. What's your favorite thing to do when you feel down besides drink (drink doesn't count now!) Retail therapy? Eat the most fat laden meal you can? (That would be my next, next as I decided I would smoke a cigarette before touching a drink). Stay here on MWO until this passes.

Don't cave, Honey. Believe it or not, sometimes just deep breathing - in through the nose, out through the mouth can help with a craving. I used it to quit smoking (after almost 40 years) and I use it now for drinking. Focus on your breath, and don't stop until the craving ends. It sounds simplistic, but it works. Hugs to you. We've all been there. Coming here first - before you cave - is what MWO is all about! xx

tomorrow is another day, you will get through today Honey and just think how good you will feel. It does suck to be an alcoholic but if you were a normal drinker you would not be craving al like you are. It will get better. Be positive.

Stay strong honey - you can do it.
