Is it just me.......

Or does January really suck? I am craving more now than I did the first 6 months of my sobriety? What the hell? I heard someone say that while I'm getting well my disease is in the parking lot doing pushups. Well I tell ya, my disease just won the friggin Mr. Olympic contest. And I refuse to slip. I want my purple chip. And there is no way in hell I am starting over. I have been to a meeting every day this week plus on here and I'm still friggin craving and it's PISSING ME OFF!!!

I know this to will pass. And I am a firm believer in one day at a time. And I wish I knew why the past couple of weeks has been such a hell for me. :upset:

And with that I am going to bed because this alcoholic is not drinking today. Tomorrow is another day. And I will worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Thanks for letting me vent, love you guys.

Uni,

It's not just you - you have lots of company!
January does suck & in my case February is even worse, always has been.
Too much cold weather & snow, too little sun & outdoor activity, you name it!

But I'm not craving a drink, I'm craving peace, tranquility, that sort of thing. Maybe that's what you're really craving too. I'm doing what I can including participating in the Chopra Center 21- day meditation challenge. You can still sign up, today was day 4. Think about it

January is the worse month for me too..nothing going on, horrible weather. Any ways of treating yourself?

Uni, it's sucking worse for me as well too and like Lav has said, February is going to be even worse.

I'm completely stressed out from financial and divorce issues and last night I had my first drinking dream in a very long time where I went and bought a bottle of wine for tonight. I won't be going, but I know how you're feeling and it's a horrible feeling to have.

All I want to do is sleep right now till Spring comes.

This is a really difficult time of year and it would be nice if you had something to look forward to like a weekend trip, visit with nonusing friends, movie outing, something. Sounds like you are really doing a great job taking care of yourself, keep it up, you can get through this. Cravings happen, and is seems to me, sometimes come up out of nowhere, they are evil.

Does anyone remember the post about urge surfing? That might help but I don't remember where it is on this site.

Keep posting, we are here for you.
