Keeta,
You're not a fuck-up - you're working at quitting something that is mammoth in our lives. Support is the name of the game here, and may get you through - anyone you can call? Do you have 24 hr Drug and alcohol lines where you are? Great that you posted - venting helps. You're redirecting your energies and this is great. Change takes time. Please don't be too hard on yourself.

Hang in there, it gets better,
Kayla
Sending you lots of positive vibes x

Beaches,
OK, I stand corrected...I am "feeling" very fucked Up

When I go to town tomorrow I WILL resupply my stock of supps (I live in a very isolated spot and we are kinda poor)
You are welcome, though at this point I can't imagine how I can help any one, except if I can be AF right now...shit...any one CAN...(though in my heart of drinking, i never would have believed me LOL)

Love ya,
Kim

Yep Keeta,
Anytime you feel the need - pick up that phone, and get on one of those call lines, or a recovery friend, or even bloody AA if needed. Even very sceptical me has had to do it (all) at times. All adds to the urge-surfing, changing your space, distraction. Use everything at your disposal. Believe in yourself. YOU CAN DO IT.

Check in with us as often as you need. Here for you, knowing FULL WELL how hard it is.

Keeta, I am so proud of you for not drinking tonight. Perhaps you should call your doctor in the morning and go in and talk to him about how you are feeling. A good check up never hurts!

You can do this, you want to be sober.....it is tough at first....but, it does get a lot easier!

Yes, please at least get the L-Glutamine and Gaba. Make sure to get well rested.

keeta hun how are you doing? Believe me I know how you feel, I was feeling the same way just a few hours ago and it WILL pass. I had to pick hubby up from bus stop (he buses to and from work) and cravings hit me big time, I was like do you have a cigarette, he was like uh no I just smoked the last one, I was like WHAT??? your kidding me right. So go straight to grocery store, I'm telling you I was on the verge of an anxiety attack, I don't smoke that much or that often but right now I'm thinking nicotine is the lesser of the two evils and well it did help calm me down a little - I even bought a scratch lottery ticket but we didn't win. Well all this to say that the cravings did pass, we had a nice family dinner with the kids and my son's girlfriend, mom wasn't half pissed, kids weren't embarrassed or disappointed and I don't have to wake up tomorrow feeling guilty or remorseful. We have to remember those feelings to remind us of why we really, really deep down don't want to drink.

I'm proud of you for not drinking JUST FOR TODAY - don't even worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow take care of itself

hugs,

Pbear

Keeta!

Glad you are winning against the beast! Do what ever it takes!

Clobber him! :bat

Slug him! :boxer:
Cuss him out! :dang:

Keep him locked out side! :mad-door:

I knew you could do it!

Love- Best
