I am 27 days sober from alcohol and have been slowly getting those strong cravings back again! It’s a Friday night, payday and the devil on my shoulder keeps telling me to have ’ just one blowout. I know what road it will lead to…drinking every other day. This completely affects my family life and most of all me. When does the psychological torment end?

Last year, this time was day 27 for me. By far the worst / hardest day for me. Whatever the reason was… sunny outside etc. I almost caved… keys in hand ready to take a drive to the packie. I laid on the bed, texted my girlfriend, waited and then that wave washed over me and it was gone.
I’ve had days here and there where I thought about it but never really entertained it because I know where that will lead me to. Daily / nightly blackouts and hangovers.
As far as the psychological torment… it gets easier with time… for me anyway. Stick it out. You’ll thank yourself that you did.

Thanks! The grizzly bear shit is definitely pounding, but I’m looking forward to dealing with little taps or scratches. I’m going to shut it’s mouth with both my left and right hook.

Thanks ace…it is weird how it comes on so strong all of a sudden after weeks sober. I’ll take your advice and keep working at it.
Oh Lord the shits!!! Oh how lovely it is to have normal bowel movements now! The pros definitely outweigh the cons and as you both said…this too shall pass (No pun intended). Really appreciate the words of advice…its helped me pass yet another moment. I’m going to read, have blissful uninterrupted sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.

I remember very vividly that when I started drinking alone I was trying to recreate all the fun and parties of my youth by trying to get that rush. Alas, it didn’t work. Those highs come once in a lifetime and now we move on. When I get that jones feeling I simply say to my self “self, it won’t work. you don’t drink anymore. Now what?” Also, I agree with ya’ll about the BM’s. They are awesome now!!!

It will get easier with time, refocus your brain on whatever it takes.
