3 days sober haven’t had an urge even tho I’ve had numerous arguments with my partner but I’ve made sure to keep myself busy

Well done on 3 days 
Great to hear that you’re not getting urges. What kind of stuff have you been doing to keep busy?
Something I learned on here is not to be complacent. The little 
thoughts pop up at the most random times… Things like Oh you’re finding this pretty easy, maybe it wasn’t a problem. Or Oh you’re doing great, just one won’t hurt. Don’t let them catch you out!
Have the arguments been about you getting sober or is it more to do with emotions etc running high? Or something else entirely!?

Thank you Darren
Thank you ,I keep busy by sleeping or going out taking photos only way to keep the mind active …and the arguments are just to do with our relationship
Sorry to hear that but great that you have got something positive that you enjoy to focus on! What kind of photography do you do?

I’m on day 3 too and no urges but fully aware that my mind will try to talk me around so trying to keep distracted. Have you tried to be sober before?

Hey man, welcome! Keep focusing on the beauty that you see with a keen photographers eye. You know how seeing the world as an artist is an amazing gift. Some people never see the world that way. Focus on the wonder of the world. Hopefully that can be applied to the relationship issues as well.
No matter what, you have found an amazing community of people who know what you are going through. Stay strong brother! And use us for all we are worth!

Naturehippy you described it perfectly. 3 day speed bump. Took all my will power nit to give in. I had no cravings the first 2 days and on day 3 I was trying to convince mysellf I didn’t have a problem, after a very stressful day I deserved a drink to relax etx. This app is such a wonderful support
