i really wish i had a drink right now. It would be easy to get one. I just need something to help me feel nothing for a awhile. That's bad of me I know. But these past few weeks has been so hard. *sigh*

How about taking a nap instead? You can't feel stuff when you're not awake!
I know it's hard, but you can get through this. Don't give into temptation. You're doing well by holding off and posting instead. Some people wouldn't even be able to do that. Is there anyone you can call, or anywhere you can go to get away from temptation?

do you have other avenues to seek out rather than the drink? like a T? or a good friend you can talk through this drink idea with and the feelings you are having? the drinking will only add to the feelings you already have (((TB)))...and thanks for posting this...that's another way to help you avoid self sabotaging yourself.

Checking in to see how you are... No, it's not bad of you, thunderbear. It's part of the demon of addiction. We have a tendency to put ourselves down whenever we think about taking a drink--there's a big difference between sharing with us and actually doing it. Simply put; drinking ain't gonna make anything better. But it sure as heck will make it worse. Please let us know how you are, We Care Cap

Thanks y'all. I made it through last night. Today was worse because i actually got out of the house and everytime I do I pass the Jim Beam distillery (I live right up the road from it) and it brings back alot of memories that cause some temptation(that was a favorite party place of everyone). But my husband won't let me drink. I lost my license somewhere in the house and don't have a picture ID to buy alcohol and he sure ain't gonna get it for me. But still it don't make the 'want to' go away.

Good for you on making it through the night. Cravings are hard to deal with. But remember they don't last forever (just seems that way sometimes) and every time you successfully resist the urge it gets just a tiny bit easier to resist the next one. Or at least that's what I found. Remember to just take it one day at a time, or one hour at a time if you need to.
