I am craving for a drink quite badly right now. This is around the time in the day, I would have gone out to buy my bottle. I think I will just post it here. I won’t have a drink of course. Just needed to tell someone about it 
Posting here takes a bit of the craving away. It’s magic 
Opportunity to do some brain rewiring!!! Nicely done!
Great job man. Remember, we can’t get drunk if we don’t take the first drink.
Great job saying no! It’s never easy but it’s always worth it the next day. Keep up the hard work friend.
We are all here cheering u on to not drink. (Is it better to say cheering u off?)
I got myself a huge bottle of cola (sc**w the calories) from a store nearby. Holding a cold glass in my hand and watching HBO. No booze for me tonight. This cola will be enough.
Good for you!
Remember the one and only rule: you have permission to do anything that’s safe and legal, to maintain your sobriety. Anything.
You can eat nothing but cookies.
You can drink 3 gallons of soda.
You can watch Netflix for 3 days straight.
You can take sick days.
You can cancel plans (or change them), no explanation required.
Screw “diets”. As long as I’m not drinking booze I’m good. Seriously.
You have permission to do anything safe and legal to maintain your sobriety.
Take care brother and remember, through all the (totally normal) ups and downs as you work your way into a (gradually easier, I promise) sober life - you deserve it. You’re worth it. You deserve to love and to be kind to your sober self - he’s a good guy and he’s worth it. Take care brother. 
I do that anyway. But I just claim insanity as my defence. I have a certificate which says so.
I am watching the entire “Game of Thrones” for the second time. I am on season 2. This time it is so much more fun.
Great! I’ve never gotten around to watching that series. I really should - it got so much press.
Great job on reaching out matey 
Hope you enjoy your Game of Thrones fest and your cola. Good work 
I am also having a very cravy day today. I am again in my third week which seems to be much harder than the first two for me, as I have failed the last two attempts around this time. 15 days off, but today was close.
A good idea to post it here and getting more conscious about it and sharing it. I hope it helps me to be prepared for the next days.
Cheers to your coke! I wish you strength!
I’m a believe that to put a name to something is to have power over it. Posting here about craving or feeling crazy definitely reduces the pressure of that feeling, for me.
@PeterPan it’s a great idea to post it here. Everyone here understands and knows a bit about what you are going though. So there’s nobody here, really qualified to judge. Only people who may help you stay strong. Hang in there. One day. Just today.
Thanks for your words! And that’s a great quote for me
How you doing mate.??
That’s my thought too talking about it takes the power out of it! Good job! Keep on keeping on
i was craving a sweet treat after a dentist visit (i deserve it after that!) so i ate 2 chocolate chip cookies 
One day at a time my friend
