Kristine, this too shall pass. My addict mind messes with me. I realize that even after 16 years of sobriety. But then I use the tools of my program and know that these cravings will pass.
I’m here if you want to talk

Alcohol will never give you what recovery can. It’s a craving and it will pass. If you have to post multiple times or jump into one of the ladies DM’s until it passes. Don’t be ashamed to do so. Many of us have been through the struggle and want to support others going through it. You’re not by yourself in this.

The human condition is a beeeeutchhh!!! Even after 16 years of happy sobriety I still miss that escape that guzzling a pint of cognac in 60 seconds gave me. Instant relief!!:smiley:. But unfortunately it always led me to real helllll on earth.
There are much better ways to escape and deal with my life/human condition.

There's lots of positive things in the world. Meditation helps control thoughts. But the past is past, were still here and everything is possible!!! :pray:t3::revolving_hearts:

Kristine,
Blake her. Milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or something sweet. These help with cravings.
