I am frustrated
I am really trying to not go by the store.
I just did a post how I almost drink too yesterday. So I know how you feel. I was thinking about the discussion I had in my head yesterday. Maybe the same you have now
Drive away, its not worth it and it wont solve your problems

Oh girl, you will be sooooo much more frustrated if you go get the booze. It’s a nasty trick your addiction is playing on you. Breathe, take a quick look at why you are frustrated, and remember that you can kill that stupid little demon! Get back in the house!

Just breath, the alcohol just is not worth the money, time and problems it brings. Step out and go for a walk, or close your eyes and envision your life so good without it, you look like an advertisement for a vacation to your fav destination. Just anything other than the devils juice. I care If anybody else does not! Please stay strong and remain sober.

Yes this back and forth in my head is crazy.
How are you now? The craving comes and goes eventually.

I’m not really an AA fan, but the frase ‘one day at a time’ helps me. Also the idea of ‘this too shall pass’ helps during rough times. I for example kept that in mind when I broke up with my ex. Its the small things that keep me on track. Cuddle with my dog, write, or just stay in bed as long as I want.

Maybe listen to some podcasts or try a meeting. I don’t go to meetings but I do know the power that hearing others stories has for me. Makes me think really hard about how terrible it would be if I lapsed.
You all are right it is not worth it. I did however pass the store and went to my office. I am actually feeling the urge leave.

Those urges are so darn strong. Fight with everything you have, and add one more day of sobriety

Beware of HALT! Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. Try to eat 2-3 meals stay away from things that make you angry, don’t be alone, and sleep when tired. Don’t mind F yourself by parking in the parking lot of the liquor store.
