I promise you - if you don't give that craving what it wants, it will stop coming over. You just have to be consistent. It happens less and less and eventually becomes very rare or non-existent. It works for AL, for sugar, and probably anything that our brains "like" too much. Hang in there, friend!

Think how you would feel if you were drinking on top of the CRUD! Now I've got to get to work!

Have a good day, Loamers and lurkers. xx - NS

Staying calm even while you have an uncomfortable feeling is great and should help keep it from spiraling out of control. Plus you ate and drank something AF, an almost sure-fired way to send a craving on its way.

I'm sure I lived in it for years but now I can see that there are several forms - I find myself thinking that "I wasn't that bad". This has come up a couple times the last few days at social events where the booze is free and several people are drinking quite a bit, to say the least. It is true that I didn't drink way too much in public so I keep reminding myself that a couple drinks at a party was not the big problem - they will always lead to more. I have no interest in drinking and not participating has been easy but I can see where trouble can start.

I too found myself thinking 'dodgy' things at the weekend. It was my birthday, I was away from home - there was a lot of pubs / beer gardens and took all my strength not to have a 'glass red with dinner'.
I know where it would lead but .... nonetheless - the thought was there - kinda always there that some day I will allow myself :egad:
What do I do about that - apart from always reminding myself of the end result ?

Glad you didn't succumb, Satz. Nothing is worth giving up what you've gained - especially not a toxic beverage that will immediately take your brain back to the state of an active addict, undoing much of what you have gained after 8 months.

Not feeling like I wasn't that bad doesn't make me feel like it would be ok and in fact, I have no interest. My point is that I do not want to get lazy about this. I am now more motivated by the positive changes due to not drinking but want to remember what I left behind, too.

AVA, 150 Days!!! Yippee!

Sorry you are still feeling Blah. Hopefully you will feel 50 instead of 150 soon

Pav and NS, this Denial issue is HUGE for me when I get a few months under my belt. This time I will be more aware of it. I learned alot from my last relapse, learned that I did have a Big problem.

Rox, that was a great poem. Kick that craving in the Ass!

Super busy at work today so I will try and check in later.

Good for you Roxy! Kick his arse out the door and if he turns around, kick him in the...oops! This is a respectable thread. FFS kick him in the NUTS! Thank you. That feels better now. Loved your post.

Happy 150 Pav!!!!!

LB, what did the doc say?

Principal told me I am presenting to faculty tomorrow. Last week he told me I wouldn't be presenting until next month's meeting or even next year. This morning, he calls and asks if I'd be able to do it as the guy that was presenting won't be here tomorrow. So I must get my ducks in a row this evening! I hate being a boring presenter as I hate boring presenters!
