Tonight, I chatted to my Dad. He’s in the Bahama’s relaxing and enjoying himself. He isn’t drinking but hearing about the fun he’s having made me want to drink. I started craving Scotch or some cocktail. I ignored it. I came home and worked out hard for 25 minutes instead. Now my muscles are tired and shaky. It’s a good thing. I’m going to have a light salad for dinner, take a shower, and settle into a book or audio book in bed.
I’ve decided to blog about my alcohol cravings and to address the things, people, situations, or feelings that are triggering my desire to drink. I am numbering them as an experiment and to hopefully help whoever reads this blog know they aren’t the only ones feeling a strong desire to drink. The experiment will be to see how often I crave alcohol and if the cravings diminish over time. We’ll see what happens.
Tonight, I managed to overcome the cravings with this blog, exercise, and because of my (silly) desire to keep my “Days Sober” list going. I want to create some amazing awards for myself as the list grows.
Strength in your sobriety,
me
