im learning that with each and every craving i nearly give in to.....i began to reason with myself that i deserve to have a few drinks....after all...ive made enough progress right??....theres nothing wrong with having these drinks...i mean who wants to be sober for all those days anyway??....
but then i remember the pain....the sickness....the scary palpitations....the anxiety....the depression....etc....etc....etc....did that help me keep from drinking?....no
something else did....
physical cravings were due to the HALT theory for me....Hungry Angry Lonely Tired
I was notAngry Lonely or Tired...i got Hungry...i fixed that and the cravings went away...
I learned an important lesson today...
