I am drunk.

13 years ago 0 +0 / -0 22

Well, this is day 2 of having no alcohol! Yay! Have had very little cravings and they were easy to deal with. Even sitting beside my husband yesterday who had 2 glasses of wine and today when he had one with lunch, I was actually pretty satisfied with my sparkling water and gingerale. I know I have a long journey ahead of me but I am going to count my little blessings along the way.

Beating ourselves up really doesn't work so well. I guess we all have to try it... again and again... before we realize... "Hey! This isn't helping!" What I found helpful was to take the pressure off quitting NOW while working through the toolbox quizzes and education pieces and then setting a quit/cutback date. That way, I had a better understanding of what I was up against and how to help myself through. Granted, it has taken me many tries, but each time I have learned something important. I really do think that honesty, kindness (to self), and perseverance are key. Hang in there Awakening... we can do this!

I feel like crap today...duh. I appreciate the posts you have all sent. I don't have too much memory of what went on, including my post at 10:30pm. I will try again today. Hopefully I will have more power this evening. I will definitely be on this site to gather strength from those of you that are sticking to it. At least it's a sunny, beautiful day here...looking forward to walking in the fresh air.

There is something called the 'mental obsession'. when it comes to alcohol, an alcoholic is weak willed. so, don't be hard on yourself. you will have to at some point make a decision to quit completely and then see spiritual help. For an alcoholic, the only solution is to have a spiritual awakening (a psychic change) so we can look at the world with a different out-look. and live on life terms.

Good Morning Awakening,

I hope you had a good sleep and do not feel too bad this morning. As I have posted before, slipping back a step is no reason to give up. You are a strong and wonderful woman and you deserve this chance to be in control of your life. Start again today anew and do not beat your self up (too much) lol

Don't have another drink, take some Advil and a bottle of water and go to bed. Tomorrow is another day, we all have another day, and we all will make the best of it.

You have our support, but for now, stop and drink some water, and crawl into a nights sleep.

Good luck, you have us with you.

I feel terrible posting this message. I feel as though I may be inspiring someone to drink. I can say this: I feel yucky and I don't know why I do this. I feel heavy and numb and scared and even though I panic when I am NOT drinking, it feels better than this. I really am trying NOT to do this, not to drink, not to succumb to my addiction but despite how strong I am, I cannot calm the urge to drink. At this point, I wish I had not consumed so much alcohol.. I just want to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow.
