still going

day 10 - good days and bad days … today was stressful - wanted to buy wine but went for chocolate and decaf coffee. So hard but determined to keep going. As an encouragement to myself and others…I am really enjoying feeling properly awake when i wake up - so sending out positive vibes to everyone who’s struggling tonight xx

Well done, I've not achieved ten days AF for a long time, don't seem to be able to get past day five recently. Keep it up.

Loving the positive vibes. 👊

Amazing work, steer clear of that drinks aisle. There is something magical about chocolate. Having a decaf tea and chocolate or a hot chocolate seems to help a little bit with a craving.

Your doing great, one day at a time...... and I'm glad your sharing here. Have you considered looking for a sober support group....even some of the online stuff is good. We fortunately now have this group with helps....but sometimes in those panic moments it helps to have immediate support like a recovery groups....

[Coldswimz in reply to fauxartist]

Can you recommend any groups?

[fauxartist in reply to Coldswimz]

I can't tell you what will work for you, I'm not promoting any one program or method to recovery, I can only tell you that when I started to seriously make an effort over 30 years ago, the only thing around at the time that worked for me, because it was free, had a good success rate, and had meetings everywhere was AA. However, I'm sure if you do some online homework you can find other alternatives, but that's what worked best for me.
