I really don't want to drink right now but some part of me is almost forcing myself to even though I feel like just sleeping.....I feel like I have to do this or i'm missing out? I had a great day, now i'm bout to ruin it...I went to the dr's, went to the gym, did some shopping, ate out, talked to some friends....I feel really good right now and I know i'll feel like sh*t if I start drinking especially tomorrow!

DONT- It will lead to nothing but guilt, and feeling like crap tomorrow. Go for a walk ,go to bed, eat something. You don't want to drink, so don't. Compulsions out of sheer habit is what kept me drinking for as long as I did. It nearly killed me.

It takes awhile for the obsession to ease off. That will not happen until you make a resolve to quit. If you get through the hard time you will be thankful. Above all remember that you have the power to stop drinking.

I know this feeling all too well.
And reaching out was good. But usually when I reach out like this..I just want someone to say..its ok..you are sick....you will quit when your ready.

NO..its not ok...you would get thru the craving if you fight it.
I hope you won.

Missy! It's time to break the cycle!!

You want to have a better life and you don't want to sabatage it by drinking!

Looking back, I did the exact same thing you are doing. I was looking for someone to enable me and when nobody would, that's when I reached out and asked for help....just like you are doing now!

God Bless!

Typo...I should have said whyzac not missy. Both of you, hang in there, life gets better if you stay sober.

Sounds like you had a busy and productive day. The body is telling you to sleep and when I'm tired my mind can play tricks on me. Hope you got some rest and today is going well for you.

     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...
