I woke up this morning absolutely craving alcohol. I want a drink so badly. But I'm not going to. I don't want to screw up my life any more than it's screwed up. I don't want to go backwards. So I'm going to gut it out and not pick up.
Just taking it an hour at a time. splitimage

Thats a really bad feeling to wake up wanting or needing alcohol.
Is it because you drank last night? Or you haven't drank in a while? I hope you can push thru it.

Damn, I surely hope you can take a Xanax or any other Benzo, to help you get through the day.

Thanks Missy, McCarrolmike, and Introvrtd1.
I've been sober now for 1 year and 2 weeks - it'll be 3 weeks tomorrow. That's part of why this is so weird, I normally don't get cravings anymore. I've been hanging out on-line at recovery sites, and happily the cravings passed at about 11 am, but it was a darn uncomfortable 4 hours. Just going to stay focussed on recovery today, reading recovery literature. Additiction F**** sucks. splitimage

splitimage..yea...when I was sober for 8 years..the first year was hell.
Then finally in the 2nd year I had no cravings. Its much easier to fight a craving when you have sober time under your belt...than it is when you are in the chaos of addiction....I'm glad I am a month away from it....
