Alcohol - i miss you my Friend

[RoarsomeMum]

I use to Drink a lot. I guess I was an alchoholic. I have not had a drink in 3 years, though, I have wanted to. Now the urge is so strong, I know it would be so easy to take just one sip. and I know if I did, that would be it for me. It for my Dreams. I know I cant drink, not just cause I am TTC, but cause I cant control it. I have an addictive personality I guess. and alchol makes everything go away, I so badly want that right now.

I guess I am reaching out for help. anyone got some tips to get me through the next few days without falling off the wagon??

Wow, 3 years is a huge achievement. You know Im going through it myself at the moment, battling with the drink, so I dont have any great words of advice. I just wanted to let you know that Im here for you if you ever need someone to chat to and take your mind off it.

3 years is amazing though!!!
And its fantastic that you understand one sip would leave to more.:yes: :yelclap:
It is such a hard thing to do, to not drink when the urges are so strong, but fight it hun, keep fighting it. :hugs:

:thumbsup: 3 years is a huge achievement. You know your limits and know that one drink will lead to another, which makes you one of the very few out there that can do this. Good luck with TTC....this is one of your reasons for not drinking. Maybe you should go out and do something else to get your mind off the drink? Another tip would be think of how good you feel tommorrow if you dont have a drink today....I guess the big thing is to remember that although alcohol may make things "dissapear or go away" it only lasts for that one day or night your having a drink...the next day it will all be there again. Although it feels like an escape its really a dead end. Be proud of yourself 3 years is soooooo good for you not to have a drink. Stay strong.
