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.

I'm struggling tonight. I hate this. The desire to drink even though I know how aweful it will make me feel. I can't stand this feeling. I feel on edge and unable to focus. Other times I'm really happy and clear. Or I'm sad for losing the drinks. But right now all I can think of is how nice it would be for my body to shut up for just a little while. The immediate answer is to drink. But then I get even more upset. If I drink I know I'm going to feel SO much worse before I even make it to bed. And then tomorrow, my physical pain will make right now look like a walk in the park. I feel defeated. I feel like I've backed myself into a corner and there is nothing left to do but sit here with it. I want to be sober. Somewhere in that emotional rollarcoaster is me. And in those moments I am happy and feel secure in it. I wish my body would just get over it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
And how bloody hard we have to work to get over them.
I have been right where you are and I feel for you, try to get your mind of the subject, I don't know wash the dishes, phone a friend, go for a drive, stick your head out the window get some fresh air, Iused to, helped me,1/2 an hour later I would have forgot my cravings.
Sometimes we crave because we are thirsty, we don't realise we are thisty, but a long cool Juice or water often takes the edge of the craving, also something to eat, I found that helped as well.
You know these are all mental things, mourning the loss of not drinking is normal.
Just hang in there, the rewards are to good to miss, and with time this bullshit goes.
Well done for sharing at your time of need, thats better than picking up a drink, indeed most things are better tahn picking up a drink.
Hang on in there, my thoughts are with you
