I've just come back from lunch, after a nice walk in the sunshine. I feel good. So why do I have to feel like a nice glass of wine or mug of beer would be great just now??? I can get through this feeling, can't I? I need to hold strong to my belief that I will be sober from now on.
I can actually feel this! I remember really clearly the first week and I (not sure if I mentioned this but think I have) here goes again!
ReplyDeleteMade a jar and put notes in them:
"go for a walk" "get out of the house" read a book" "go shopping"
anything to stop me thinking about alcohol between 4 pm and 7 pm
After that I would get kinda angry and tired. And strut off to bed - but feel so excellent in the morning it was worth it.
Go Lia!!

Oh Giving! I did just that, I came home at 5pm and told my husband, "I'm tired, I'm going to bed." I was exhausted and fell asleep. Got up an hour later, ate a bit, and went back to bed to read. Turned the lights out at 8:30, and went to sleep. Now it's morning, and you right, I feel wonderful! Thank you for the encouragement. It helps tremendously.
ReplyDeleteLia, you are on the right path.
DeleteI remember those days too.
Giving Up is right...sleep and wake up SO thankful I didn't drink!
