Holidays drinking

The holidays are coming I keep seeing friends pictures of holiday beers and can’t help but crave them…I’m literally a month and 16 days in and I know the cravings come and go but I’m trying to fight it today, what the hell is wrong with me!!

@Oliverjava I actually do not have a plan and haven’t went to an AA group…I’m not sure why I havent…I think I got so consumed in all my problems and work and ND life and working out that I forgot to make time to go to an AA group.
Excuses I know
Maybe I will look back on my past posts that’s a good idea…I tend to just write and then get distracted

I too am having the same issues with the holidays coming and not drinking. Holiday baking, I would drink wine, thanksgiving dinner…wine, christmas…wine, christmas parade pint of something in my coat, and looking back on it I usually didn’t fully enjoys these experiences with my family because of the drunken haze (that’s what I call it) I keep thinking to myself I can do it and I will do it without the booze. It’s gonna be hard but it’s gonna be worth it. Hang in there and if you ever wanna chat let me know!
Today I went grocery shopping and was the first time in years I didn’t buy a case of beer, 2 bottles of wine, and a 5th of something. Instead I treated my self to a few coffee creamers, a few different teas to try and diet coke. Not sure if that helps or not. I’m really nervous about baking without wine! My pumpkin rolls may not ever be the same! Lol!

@Oliverjava Thank you for the encouragement. I think this place is where I feel the safest talking about everything.I haven’t found the support I need besides my husband.
Which don’t get me wrong he helps so much, but I means from someone who knows how it feels.
I’m going to make a list of things to do before I drink. I’ll try it out and see if they help shoot down my cravings.Thanks girl
