Not sure I'll make it

Really trying to fight this craving… Since I got home about an hour ago all I want is a drink. Nothing bad happened. I had a good day. I’m almost at day 5
…ughhhhhhh

And you’re still having a good day! You can make it as you did these last 4 days, by remembering you are driving this train, not the booze anymore.
We already rode that other train we don’t need to see that shit again.
Hugs to you and hang tough, it does get easier.

I guess I’m a little stressed because my in laws are coming for dinner. I mean, everything’s ready, they’re not much to do… But I feel restless

You got this ! You went 4 days and I know you can go another ! That lil voice in your head just wants you to please it then when you give in it’ll just change into a voice of guilt and regret maybe settle down order some food and put on a favorite movie

Wether you think you can or you can’t you’re probably right but if you beat this craving your soberiety muscles get a little stronger :muscle:. I’m here to tell you that you can do this.

Restless = meditation, affirmations and relaxation for me. Swiftly followed by mastication of something yummy.

Get out of your own head by doing something. Time tends to move when we do.

…got out in the garden for a moment. Having a non alcoholic beverage. Trying to listen to my daughter’s issues with friends is a bit trying, bit I’m giving this my best shot!!! Trying to breath.

Play that tape alllll the way to the end girl. There were reasons why you quit in the first place. Remember those reasons. You dont need alochol. Alcohol really serves no benefit or purpose in our lives. Tale deep breathes, eat a good meal, go for a walk, shower,l or try any other distraction. Take it 1 min at a time if u have to. Way to go fir reaching out!

I have a gal at work who got a small teardrop tattoo on her index finger by her middle joint and every time her teen daughter starts in about the drama, she brings it up just under her eye. There’s probably a look she gives too…

I wish you strength, as I wish it for myself.

You can do this :blush:
Imagine the feeling when you wake up tomorrow morning, and you know you did it- these feelings of self accomplishment can hold you through the next day too.
Im so proud of you, you want this so much and your doing it.

There’s a mantra right there. Find your sober peeps and lean in. You deserve to feel good tomorrow morning.
