Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Ya know, I was thinking about drinking beer a lot today. Really bugging me. I did a lot of yardwork this am - 3 full, non-stop hours. Had a little lunch. And at 7:30 pm I was still thinking about it. I went to the local store for a couple items and as I was walking home I was thinking about what is so different about today?? It is because I'm on day 21 and just want to drink? Perhaps but not good enough answer for me. So then I halted. First time I've ever halted. Sounds kinda funny saying it.
But then I realized I was hungry. I was really, really hungry. My stomach had been growling for hours and I was just ignoring it cuz there really wasn't anything I had unfrozen that I wanted to eat. I remembered I was still hungry after what lunch I ate. So I ate a bit and now I'm fine.
I've heard of HALT ages ago and I poo-pooed it.
Especially the hungry part.

I used to never leave home for the day without packing a lunch or snack. It was imperative for me not to be hungry in the early days...LA
The longer I didnt drink and the more I got used to what things felt like without alcohol the better I became at knowing what was going on and what the feelings and sensations really were.
