Mitchell, alcoholism is cunning, powerful and cunning. Without help it’s too much for us. I had to surrender to the winning side and go to AA meetings daily & nightly, get sponsored and do the 12 steps.
I struggled and relapsed for many years. I wish I would have surrendered sooner. I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions

Anything that felt good is going 2 be hard to overcome sometimes. The buzz etc. Learn to find new pleasures, hobbies and be fiercely into them. Stay busy instead

9 days is real come back for sure! The cravings coming back around this time will happen, your brain is still trying to figure out what's happening. What helps most people is doing what you're doing... getting out of wherever you're feeling, any questions, tips, etc Change the location, call someone, go somewhere public, put something between you and the first drink. You already know how it ends, your 9 days knows too. Keep checking in. Add a few friends and hold each other accountable.
