So far, no cravings. Which is good, needless to say. Nothing really ever triggers a craving for me, not that I’m aware of at least. Usually my cravings hit really hard out of nowhere without any warning. It also tends to happen when I go a couple weeks without alcohol. Am I the only one that feels this? I think my biggest problem is going some time without alcohol, then tricking myself into thinking that I can drink in moderation again.

Yes. For me it might be feeling happy or feelimg lonely.
Then i realise i could have done that without alchol and it woudlnt have made it better or worse. . I think its like im in a desert and if i go somewhere and wish i had a drink. But its never out of reach. Shops are never far.
I like to say i have a choice. And im choisng no today. Not clean yet. Have done before for big portions of the year. And at particularly hard times. Ie death of my mother and covid. So n0t sure why im strugglimg to set a new date.

Yep, it’s a mindset to work on. I totally relate to that old saw, quit for a while, then think I’ve learned my lesson, try to drink in moderation, and slip right back downhill. No more of that bullshit! I wasted waaaay too much of my life living that crappy cycle. Keep at it, tell that wolfie voice who says drinking is a good idea, to FRO.
