Hey Deter....

Don't you budge, Mister! Detox is a real bitch, but you KNOW what to do: Distract yourself. Do whatever it takes to get yourself through the intensity of the craving. It would be best if you could get some light exercise. A walk, maybe? Can you focus on all the really good things in your life you can think of....past, present and future? Keep pushing the water, it will help a lot.

You've done this before...and you CAN and WILL do it again, I know it.

I'll stop in at the chat cave a little later tonight. Got a B-day party but after that...I'm here, if you want to talk.

TDN - Welcome back, dear one....I think looking for support and being accountable is a sure sign that you 'want' sobriety! Good work on your AF time....keep figuring out what helps you deal with addiction and you will be free.

Det - :l:l thank you for keeping coming back - you remind us that this is not an easy path and we are so vulnerable, and that you are strong for working hard to meet your goals.

Det - Turn had the pefect idea. Get outside for some light exercise. Go for a walk. Create a healthy meal plan for the next few days and eat. Protein and veg's. You know what to do. And then cuddle with your wife. She loves you.

thanks all. I wonder sometimes if I should or shouldn't post my drama/struggles because I think it may destabilize someone that may also be struggling with a decision. maybe I'm being over-self critical. I'm not sure. i seem to be an ideal model of 'what not to do' the last half of this year for some reason. I used to be a tower of strength here and have made it through so many adversities AF including a 2-week cruise etc. Now I'm floundering and I'm just so frustrated with myself. my mojo seems to be missing. I'll look for you on chat Turn
thanks again everyone

Det, speaking personally - I know that I struggle with a desire to drink and have the thought that one won't hurt, that I can do this and make it work - it takes all of us to remind each other as to what it really means. Seeing you post reminds me that I am not alone in the fight, that my thoughts are real and that I am vulnerable - you make me stronger.
Your mojo will come back, I have seen you in many places in the time that I have been here and you are one of the people I respect here on MWO. I feel for you and look forward to when you are able to become the rock again, until then I will be honoured to see you be able to look for support, and to give you a :l from time to time and know that you are human just like the rest of us.....

Hi, Det.
I know how you feel, and it stinks! It's so hard when we know what the right thing to do is. . .but we don't do it. I know you can get back to AF. I am trying to focus on how good I feel and also trying to keep it in the day.
Hang in there. Tomorrow is another day!

Det--have you tried a hot bath in epsom salts? Two cups is what's recommended. I am not having any withdrawals or anything, but just read that it is good for everyone to do this three times a week, and had a nice soak tonight. I think that you sweat out any toxins. May help calm you, too.
