Thanks everyone. Do you know something it was worth struggling through just so I could 'show off' about beating the craving.

I know that's warped, addict thinking but right now I don't give a flying fig as long as something keeps me going.

I am so very, very glad I did not drink last night.

Looking back the pivotal moment was after the meeting when I was having a little word with the facilitator about some specific, personal stuff I wasn't able to share with the group. She looked at the stuff we'd written on the board about the cr@p going on for me(there's a lot and it's also things I can't write on a public forum)in my head and said "I think you'll get through this". That was when I felt a shift in my thoughts, only slight but just having someone expressing some faith did something to me. Sure enough 5 mins later walking past the off-licence and I did not want to go in.

I'm so grateful for everyone's support again, and to whatever saved me last night. Another sober day.

Hear hear! Totally agree with you. Lets remember that we are grown up children. My son does better when I give him alot of encouragement and support. When he says he cant do something, I tell him to try. It's my faith that motivates him and he usually succeeds.

Says alot doesnt it. I am gratful for this thread UKblonde and for all the people who have posted on here...It 's comforting to know that people fight cravings be it alcohol or sugar. And I really did not know that sugar could also be detrimental to your mental well being.

It's Day two sugar free for me. Thanks all. Have a great thursday!

You have such inner strength, and as I am sure you are aware, addiction can have many different tactics to try and convince you to pick up that first drink once again. Get a good nights rest and I hope tomorrow is a better day.

I think addiction often gains a point by denying to that sleep though. :upset:
