For some reason tonight I’m feeling a strong desire to drink. Maybe it’s the pressures of Christmas. But I just want to go to sleep and hope that the feeling has passed by morning. Sadly, bed is not an option yet.

I was just going to post something similar. I’m feeling incredibly sorry for myself right now and I’m grieving my abusive ex (alcohol). Last year, this time, I was plastered. I have a headache and alcohol always helped make those go away. I just feel emotionally spent and want to cry all the time. This is really hard.

this is normal to everybody in this time of the season,we some get a lil depressed and want drink to get our spirits lite up and feel happy,but alcohol does not fix anything,our problems still there tomorrow,and sometimes it can be worse because we do something more stupid and create more drama in to our lives,my advice is to hang in there,find a friend to hang out with,find you a book to read,or just do something tha distract you and gets you mind busy,instead of be thinking,do not allow yourself to stop an think,stay busy and distracted.

I was feeling sorry for myself and the fact that I can’t drink like normal people earlier as well. Thinking about going to a meeting soon. I don’t want to have a hangover on Christmas, disappoint myself and my loved ones, and mess up my hard earned days of sobriety so far. I want to get through this hell of a struggle and be proud of my victory tomorrow. What do you want to gain by not drinking tonight?

I really feel like I only want to drink because it’s what I’ve always done. Habit. What is it they say about making new habits? How long does it take?
