I want a Glass of Wine!!!

[hiddengoal]

Geez, I have doing great - this is day 10 doing an AF Stint (won't say its forever) and right now I am going crazy for wine, or just a sip of Port. I am facing a counter full of bills, am sorting trying to get on top of it and its VERY stressful!...I don't have enough time to take care of my life, more or less myself. I need to quit my job so I can take care of responsibilities, but then need the money ot just keep head eye level while I am treading water.

Any one out there to chat and distract me from taking some sips while I sort this pile of overdue bills??

Don't do it!!!!

How about a cup of tea? Do some nice deep breaths.

HG, you can sort them in a flash without wine. With wine will prolong the misery in more ways than one!

I agree with Greenie, Hidden....drinking is never the answer! Think about it, if drinking really did make things better, none of us would be here......instead we would be drinking instead of fighting so hard not to drink!

Have some water with lemon, some tea.....do some exercise...anything to keep your mind off drinking. Why not take part of the pile tonight and do another pile tomorrow. Pace yourself!

Hang in There!

Hey Hidden, I think you know yourself that drinking tonight wont help. Ok you might escape for a few hours but tomorrow morning nothing will have changed except how you feel about what happened tonight. Be kind to yourself and dont pick up the bottle, it wont solve your problems, only exacerbate them. I am on day 15 so please join me and lets put another tick in the AF box tomorrow ok?

Oh, Hidden

Take big breathes,drink water. Think how good you'll feel if you don't pick up that drink.

Make yourself proud.

DON'T DO IT HG! You know that wine will just prolong the chore as Greenie suggested. Deep Breath. Hot Tea. Serenity Prayer. You don't need to drink through this moment.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

There is an alternate version I like too:

Grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change,
The courage to change the one I can,
and the wisdom to know it's me.

Hope you are hangin' in there sober HG. YOU CAN DO THIS!

DONT DO IT. Through one door lies misery, regret, and self loathing. Through the other, empowerment, success, and happiness. I was very tempted to have a beer NYE and I'm SOOO glad I didn't. Your success will snowball. Each passing day of sobriety will make you crave your old ways less and less.

I feel the same, stressed, im on day 3 af.. lets think together we're all going through this. i have a sister who be in a wheelchair due to recent ruptured tendons. i look at her, and her suffering on the couch all day long for days now and permanently (and in pain) and i say to myself how can i feel sorry for myself that i cant drink today? also u may want to consider baclofen, i am taking it and it really helps and im only on day 3, supposed to get ALOT better.
