The last few days have been rough. Chronic pain and depression are triggering cravings. I will make it, today I realize alcohol will only make it worse! Sly

Great thinking things through sly! I still am craving but then I try to think beyond that craving on what drinking will do for me. So far it has never been worth it. Congrats on 6 weeks!

I couldn't stay sober longer than 2 days for many years. Once I stopped, when I had 3 days, my first hero had 30 days. I remember thinking "how does anybody stay sober 30 days?".

It's an accomplishment that you've been sober this long. Keep up the good work. There is life after stopping. Please keep posting, the newcomers need to know how you have done it. Hugs

One of the most important things Iearned while in treatment was that, when I get a craving, think about the consequences of my actions before giving in to that craving.

If I stopped and thought about what my ego was trying to make me do, waited a short time for that fear to subside, and forgive myself for having that thought, then I always ended up making the right choice!

God Bless!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
