I want to drink

I have been sober since 28th May 2009.
I rarely have wanted a drink since then. I am now moving back into my own house, one I lived in before I got married (I am now in the process of a divorce). I am in between the two houses as it happens when you move sometimes. I have no desire to drink in one environment, the home I rent until the 30th of the November. But when I started to stay in my old home, where I am moving permanently. I realised that I really wanted to drink. When I lived there I drank. My son in law had a beer while I was at his house and even the smell of it drew me as never before. I am actually worried for the first time ever that I want to drink, really want to drink. I am seeing a really good GP in the village of the rented house, but don't like the ones near my own house. Without the support of my counselor and GP, I am really quite worried about what is going to happen. I just did not expect this. Posted on 11/08/09, 07:11 pm |

there are places that hold memory. sometimes the memory represents pain, despair, loss, fear. i do not go to those places anymore just as i do not go to bars or crackhouses. they can be just as dangerous for me . maybe for you too?

gina, my environment, regardless of history, cannot get me drunk. Only my right arm and my attitude can. Do you have any sober friends or family members you can call? I pray you make the healthy choice for you & yours.

Get some support and maybe try to change some things in the environment, maybe redecorate, rearrange...make it a little different know what I mean? Good luck to you, please make sure you get some support.

From my exp. if I don't keep sobriety the main thing in my life on a daily basis I'm screwed. It sounds like you may have forgotten where ya came from to get to where your at.
I wish you well in your dilemma.

Good point glad2bee, it took me a while to realise it is not what happens that leads me to drink but the way I deal with it. I have learned a whole different way of living and havent wanted a drink for a long time.
