Anybody around you can hang out with to keep you safe for the moment?

I've been there. Admittedly, I usually give in and drink. Its a really good sign that you came to DS and posted the "S.O.S. I wanna drink" message. At least you are partly thinking clearly. I hope you can get through it without drinking. First of all, you know its not going to be "just one". I mean, lets be realistic here.

yes i now its not going to be just one i want a bottle or to iv got bucks fizz my freind said go to theres and drink it but there all drinking should i go be strong omg am craveing

This urge as it comes will pass. If possibe get into another surounding! Think of all the things you will acomplish when you stay sober.
Call a sober friend or go for a walk. keep talking to us we are here for you!

Every moment you make it without a drink is one moment towards a better life.Don't give in no matter what.Get with someone who can keep you away from it.I know it's a struggle and it hurts like hell right now,I've been there.Taking one drink,even if you can stop at that is prolonging the agony.If you are too bad off,you may want to get to a doctor.Just don't forget what will happen if you take a drink.All the effort you've put forth so far is wasted.Hang in there moment by moment.

GO TO AN AA MEETING AND GET PHONE #'S SO WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE THIS YOU CAN CALL SOMEONE AND GET A SPONSOR BUT GET OUT AND GET TO AN AA MEETING

This too shall pass... it is an obsession we are all familiar with. Pray for God to remove your obsession and keep you safe. Put yourself in His hands and get to AA as soon as possible.

marie I sure do feel for you.I know that you dont want to drink because you are here asking for support. How brave you are.You can make it thru this, its never easy at first, nothing is.You must do something to take your mind off of it.Stay away from those who do drink or who are going out to party.At least for the night.You can do it because you know that you are worth it.Have a sponsor? Have a favoriet meeting? Have a friend who doesnt drink that you can call? Where I live They have a hot line where a person can call and talk to someone about what is going on in their life at the time.And most of all get close to your HP. be safe and good to your self.

I've been like Pavlov's dog more than once, at first fighting it and then mentally giving in and that's when the drooling started. Was on my way to the store and praying all the way for God to remove this craving. Most of the time I went and drank but a couple of times my craving went away and I turned the car around and didn't drink.

I don't know why sometimes I was able to accomplish this impossible task (not drinking when I'm to the point mentally of almost actually drooling) and most of the time not able to. I think for me it boils down to how much screwing up I've done at that particular time and how much I've hurt other people and thus possibly how sincere my prayers were.

I don't know.

Glad you are here though, that's a great step to take today.

That's why I went to AA, couldn't stop on my own. Well it helped alot.

white knuckle it! sometimes you just have to go threw HELL. It will pass.

I would eat a big meal personally and fill myself up-hard to drink on a full stomach. Rather be chubby than drunk.
