Play me the script

[Nursie]

Just need a little encouragement. I'm having a hard time today. I'm at my brother's house catering a party and I didn't expect to want to drink this bad. Cold beer and full bar and everyone drinking.
Guys, I don't drink anymore. I don't drink anymore. But right now I really want to f*cking drink.
I just wanted to check in and be close to my MWO people.
I will check back later and sober.

Nursie, keep it up. The cravings come and then they go -- even the strong ones. If you need to, step out for a break and take a little walk. Eat a brownie. Flirt. Whatever you can focus on, do it! You'll get through.

:thumbsup:

You know that you're flexing that sober muscle just by checking in so I have no doubt you will make it through Nursie. You don't drink so tell the little monster telling you otherwise to go to his room. You've got this dear. :thumbsup:

Re: Play me the script

Nursie you posted as you dont want to drink, you are being accountable and that is a positive. You get through this and then you will get through the next occasion until you hate al with a passion. This takes time but you will get to that stage if you dont drink. I sometimes felt i was going insane with that al voice constantly telling me it was okay but to win against that voice is a win for you. x

Eat Nursie! Like a pig if you have to! You don't want to wake up throughout the night in a panic,you don't want the headache, dehydration, or the dissapointment in yourself tomorrow! More than likely if you did give in and drink it'd be boring anyways,totally not worth it

Re: Play me the script

Thanks guys. So far I made 4 lasagnas, wings, chicken cutlets, salads, garlic bread, etc. was very busy cooking in the kitchen. Drinking nice cold seltzer and having a bite to eat now.
I'm not drinking. I do not drink.

Re: Play me the script

Ok phew. I am safely home in bed and I didn't break my quit.
I did take an Antabuse tablet because I was feeling wobbly and I knew that would end the internal discussion.
I still wanted to drink. I wanted to drink really bad. As I cooked and set up everything, I could see people drinking...becoming more relaxed and talkative...laughing...
But they stopped. They actually said "nah, I'm good. I will have some water now. Where's the cake?"
Isn't that crazy? Like...what?
So all along, I would have been drinking and drinking and certainly not stopping. I would have been totally hammered before I even finished cooking. I would have been loud, and inappropriate, and not even realized that most people stopped drinking and switched to coffee or water. I would have been the only drunk one there and not even realized it. Then I would have stayed over because I couldn't drive and I would wake up feeling destroyed.
I am not a normal drinker and that's why I don't drink.
Thank you MWO for always being here for me.
I protected my quit like a mama bear and I made it through.
