Sorry, just wanted someone to remind me why I'm doing this - when its a bad craving, all that goes outthe window.

I should think thats the mental obssion your feeling. which makes us pick up the first one the real no holds barr craving comes on after we've had one. that uncontrollable urge to stop.

2-3 bottles of wine not much?? as beer said:rolleyes:

Ps maybe to remind your self why you should read back over the posts you've posted some times the cringe factor is enough to take your mind off it. however you know recovery is waiting in the rooms for you dont you....

Right now it just feels like its the only thing that will make me feel better, even though I know that it won't. I prefer it when I pretend I haven't got a problem - then I'm allowed to drink.

:rotfl: I just realised I do that as well.

I know one of the problems talked about is having the first drink, I find that very very true, but also for me its buying the first drink. Like supermarket drink.
Just come back from work and passed Aldi, they have a special on some beer I think I would like, if I got some, I probably would drink it tonight, even though I know I've got to get up at some unimaginable time tomorrow morning.
Its hard but not having the stuff around, makes a big difference to me.

ps I did have a good look at the bottle, looked lovely

I'm finding it hard atm - i'm sat next to the fridge, which has an open bottle of wine in it.
Today has been a very bad day, one bottle wouldn't hurt?

It wouldn't hurt to chuck it down the sink

But I want to drink it :-/
I could start giving up tomorrow instead

amen know where your coming from.... that wonderful feeling and then tho nothing.. it dosent change or solve your problems in that moment they arent there but they come back when you sober up and twice as bad. oblivion/escape i have drunk for both and i am just fed up of being dependant on a bottle coz i know it can give me that feeling. Are you not sick of the hangovers, the crap feeling ... the stupid embarassing moments... i havent done the craving yet coz i usually sucumb to it straight away:) just trying to help you coz i know its hard.
