It’s in your control to hit the pillow sober tonight. And you will if you stick to your plan

I hope for good weather tomorrow.

TW - cravings

Hm I know… But there are huge ambivalent feelings… If I remember the bad body feeling it will cause tomorrow … It passes. But if I remember sipping a few glasses …

Try drinks with carbonation or fizz and drink in your wine glass…i would sip on this slowly and just holding the glass sometimes helped…knowing i wasnt hurting myself or my health and was going to wake up without a hangover was a bonus to not giving in to the urges

[anon74766472]

I packed all my glasses for alcoholic drinks in a box and took it in the cellar. I know some people drink out of wine glasses. Idk why this wasn’t for me. It’s only a glass, I know. But I needed it to change. To make a clear cut.

And the sipping part was most of the times a drowning as fast as possible.

I’ve this sneaky thoughts about “sipping some glasses” , especially in triggering moments like listening to specific music or things I associate with former drinking, too. As dumb as it sounds, but you should try not to stay in this line of thought and actively draw your attention to something else. Maybe change the room or try a ginger shot. There are a bunch of lists about things, which were helpful for other people.

Tell that voice to fuck right off. Do not continue to give it any credence.

Im not sure what it is about the glass. It has to a long stemmed wide wine glass that im holding. More psychological than anything else for me. Just like the oral fixation of when i quit smoking this is my fixation for drinking for me - so weird because i would drink anything and everything but this one glass is what has helped me - now it has juice and carbonated water🤣.

Oh yes i remember the guzzling too - yikes- i can feel the burn just thinking of it - so glad we are not doing this to ourselves anymore.

The glass thing helped me but i wouldn’t want it to be a trigger for anyone. @Juli1 You know your mind and your addicts mind ganes best so please do not use this method if it could cause the opposite effect

[anon74766472]

I gave my glass collection my mother later who reacted like: aren’t you a bit overreacting (her usual comment on most of the things I am doing ). Still happy with my decision. Now, I don’t want to derail the leg pic thread.

[Juli1]

Thank you…

@anon74766472 @JazzyS @Planipennia @SinceIAwoke
