I've not been in a very good recovery place lately. While I love my new job it's really disrupted a lot of my routines and I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of things after being off work for so many months. So I've been thinking about drinking - not in a craving sense, but more in a I really wish I could drink kind of way, which I know is the start of a dangerous slippery slope for me. Anyway I was talking with my sponsor today and talkign about how hard I was finding getting back into the routine of working and making time for anything else. And she says out of the blue, remember it's not worth drinking over, because if you drink you'll die or wind up in the hospital again. Not what I wanted to hear, but definitely what I needed to hear as a reminder of how bad my drinking had got.
On a happier note. Today is 5 months since my last drink. --splitimage |

If you were drinking you would never have time for anything. .Keep up the good work. A day clean and sober is a real accomplishment!!!,

Congrats on the five months! I just got wo years last month myself.
My issue was not desire it was routine and cravings, and I will shamelessly plug Campral (Acomprasat) it was miracle drug for me. After about twelve hoursof the first doses and remaing ETOH free for a few days I quite literally stopped thinking and craving a drink. Do I think about it and all it's pleasures from time to time...of course, but the meds and the meetings have turned drinking (ETOH-Ethyl alcohol) from a single life controlling obsession into a collossal *Meh*. If you start to obsess or crave the booze look into this medication the craving and the thoughts dwelling on the pleasure an indication of a glutamate imballance. It's actually a manifest form of anxiety that even a Benzo is ill suited to treat. Good luck! ~Stiv |
