Day 13, I want to get drunk

I’m just so tempted to drink tonight .. I’m watching the lakers game, and i just want to drink a bottle of wine or even 2

I work out every day, I keep myself busy: I have a business i run daily, and I have my wife and 7 month old daughter. I just want to drink to unwind tonight .. I just prayed about my current feelings ,
I know I will regret it , but not sure why I am having these feelings .

You are having those feelings because it is normal when you are in our position. Go grab a big bottle of water. Do some push-ups. Go hug your wife and talk to her. Whatever it takes. You got this, bro!

Great work coming here and posting when you’re having this urge. Perhaps mute the commercials and turn on a sobriety podcast or read some quit-lit during the commercial break? You’re not drinking right now so just keep adding up the moments of not drinking. You’re in control, you can do this! :blush:

Don't do it. It really is poison.

Your brain is programmed to drink. Your body is expecting the drink. All your systems and expectations are geared for you to drink. It's going to take substantial work, energy and reprogramming on a daily basis to eradicate all of that. Then it will take discipline and understanding to continue. You have to make the decision that a sober you is worth all of that. I'm rooting for you!
