Today is better for me its easier to say no…my headace is gone …and that urge that I had to just drink the stress away is gone…i’ve bought myself a six pack non alcoholic red square in place of a six pack savannah…I am a little scared of the weekend but I trust that I am strong enough to say no

Just be careful with the non-alcoholic red square. The taste might tempt you back. Safest bet would be soda or water.

Haha I can totally relate. I bought a 6 back of rootbeer cream soda my first or second week sober and I actually was afraid to drink it because it would remind me of my favorite rootbeer beer …somehow though I felt like I needed the illusion of the bottles… think I had maybe one .after that I started getting healthy juices. Now Ill buy cool looking coffee bottles and things like that too.
Find whatever works for you… if you wanna drink water or juices or teas out of a beer mug or a wine glass I say do it , for me its helped disassociate those glasses with alcohol… of course Im always going to think of alcohol im an alcoholic lol BUT I dont freak out as much inside , instead I fill that urge with putting something else in there.

That’s awesome I’m so happy for you! it’s funny because we know physically and mentally that we feel this way but eventually you feel it in the sense that you can almost call spiritual.
Best of luck; it’s a game of hanging on a cliff but remember you either climbed it or brought a parachut so you can do it.
Awww thanx I will read everyone’s posts but I know I wont dissapoint myself or all of you!!!
