Boy do I want to go out and drink.

[rednose]

Ok it is Saturday night about 7 pm and I am really wanting to go out and
Drink right now.
Had big blow up with ex girl friend and I know that is what she is up too.
I know this is crazy thinking but wanting to go bar hopping and show her .
But no I am laying in bed with my two dogs and angry as hell.
Tomorrow will be day five if I can keep from going out and taking that first
Drink.
This is hard. Damn Alcohol keeps calling my name.
I think I would just be drinking out of anger and hurt.
But isn't that why we all drank at times?

Feeling like sh-t

Oh, you are so lucky to have 2 dogs! I only have cats and really dream of having just one dog. Focus on how cathartic your dogs are for you. Go on long walks with them. Talk to all the wonderful people you can meet when walking your dogs. Make sure they are healthy and getting enough exercise - you will too!

Hi Rednose! I know how you feel. Great job on not going out. :goodjob: If you feel like chatting, I'll go into the chat room. Sometimes it helps to just vent.

Totally with you on this one, Red but my trigger is my son and oddly enough having to do everyone's f^*^%%# ing laundry...:mad-door: I couldn't find my iPad to come here and vent or read or something so I just folded towels and fumed...

When I had my blow out with my best friend I actually felt somewhat reliieved...sounds bad but really it had been coming. I still love her but realized she and her situation, good times or not were becoming an excuse for me to drink. Not certain what your relationship is with your friend but the extreme emotions they can incite in us certainly push our AL brain into high gear.

Stay close and watch a good mystery on tv or Netflix .

Rednose,
Drinking AT people doesn't make you feel any better. Trust me, I did it for years!
What will make you feel better is developing an attitude of gratitude. You have 5 AF days, be happy, be proud of yourself
Don't let your ex take up anymore of your head space. Watch a movie, read a book, just don't drink & you will feel proud of yourself tomorrow. Don't listen to the damn monkey mind!!!!

Wishing you much strength!

Do NOT I repeat DO NOT have a drink! It is not worth it, you are stronger then that.

Get out of that bed and go for a run or do some push ups, do something active and the feeling of booze will go.

Else try some guided meditation

Hey yah, I'm fine. Just frustrated as hell! I went to the store and stocked up on candy heheh, now I'm warching cartoons. Going to the store pissed of before closing time was kinda weird though. If I had been distracted or forgotten for a second that I don't drink anymore I'm pretty sure I would have waled right to the beer fridge without a seconds thought until it was too late :S ....sooo I'm throwing a tantrum alone in bed with 12 bux worth of sugar and my trusty netflix account. Lol. Glad your toughong it out with me, usually when people post when they are feeling at risk they get over the hurdle, so good call!

You mentioned that you think your ex is provoking you or something to that effect? What do you mean if you don't mind me asking.
