I don't know why but I woke up this morning with the worst craving to drink - all I want to do is drive to the liquor store and buy a bottle. I've been trying to think through the drink to remind myself how awful it will be if I give in but the urge is so strong. Using HALT i realize that I'm basically lonely and want to numb that feeling with booze even though that's a lousy solution. Guess this afternoon I'll start calling people from my aa group to talk to, because I will not give in to these cravings.

Any and all encouragement is welcome.

Thanks.
