I am 5 days sober… today though I woke up thinking about wine… and I haven’t been able to stop. I am sitting in my car having just finished work and I can see the bottle shop!!!
Hey Sarah, hang in there you can do it! Hopefully I’m not to late… turn your car around and walk away from temptation! In 2 days you will unlock the goal of 7 days sober! Blessings, stay Strong love 
@Sarah Praying for strength for you! 
Crisis averted…I went to the supermarket and got a bag of Twisties and 2 Snickers bars instead 
Gosh, those cravings were soooo fierce!!! I’m so used to buying enough bottles on a Friday afternoon to get me through the weekend.
Thanks for being there @Soberlife05 xx

Hi Sue. You’ve completed 2 weeks YAY I think I woukd have caved if I hadn’t been able to jump on here and see if anyone was about. As a result of not drinking I have had an enjoyable evening at home with my family

Okay good. 
If you ever get cravings again and you can’t find anyone to provide emotional support, just PM me… I have insomnia, so I’m awake most of the night.
Australia huh? That’s really cool! I live in Phoenix, AZ in the US. And I’m doing alright, considering. Thanks for asking. 
Thats a lovely offer @Volatile thank you I was reading about your 28 day cycle… I remember reading once about how habits form patterns and there’s actual science behind why they do over certain periods of time… like habit breaking hurdles are often 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months and so on… I’ll have a dig around and see what I can come up with

I’m just 2 days in (again) and big cravings today as its Friday evening though it really doesn’t matter what day it is. I have a busy day and have started to change my bedroom around leaving everything on the bed. The plan is to keep busy and be productive. I’m going to a scan with my daughter to check my new baby grandson so what better way to see a sober future. This app is very helpful and great to have the forum. All the best everyone from Helen
@Sarah Wow, thanks… I would really appreciate that! I have a feeling that I’ll be alright this month because I’ve broken off contact with My ex… He was my most significant trigger. But I’d definitely be interested in reading anything you Can find.
@Helz7 Hey, 2 days is a big achievement… It’s one of the most difficult parts of sobriety. For me it is, anyway. Stay strong hun, and if you need encouragement or support you can talk to me or anyone else here.

@Helz7 oh thats so true, I would find an excuse EVERY DAY… I made a sale today, lets celebrate, I didn’t shout at the kids today, lets celebrate, it’s Wednesday, let’s celebrate!!! Now I am trying to celebrate every sober minute
Now you get to to see your new baby grandson before he arrives - how wonderful 
There’s a part of me that would love another baby, I already have two aged 4 and 6… but I’m 41 and I think it’s just my hormones playing games with me because my head is shouting NOOOOO
