Alcohol, hints, tips, advice etc.

Don't mind admitting I'm really struggling this afternoon for the first time in weeks. Lovely weather + at home bored etc. This is the end of week 4 and after the first week struggles things seemed okay but something has 'clicked' in my head today and the temptation to walk to Aldi and grab a few bottles of cider and grab some ice and chill with tunes is becoming overwhelming.

This really is a bastard of an illness and those voices can literally pipe up at any time.

Christ on a bike,I can relate to your post.
The weather here is steaming hot and so
hand in hand with just thinking "sod it,beer o'clock " ,I thinl thats why.Iv loved Thailand for decades,its allowed me to booze and say "I'm on holiday" I'v earned it etc.
Me and my wifes family went out early on friday and did all the local tourist sites where we currently are,on coming back to our hotel I asked my b in law if he wanted some beers after driving us around all day, he did, so.off i went and bought the Changs (lager) and ice for him and my father in law,came back.and watched them get tipsy while.i drank water,my resolve is tested permenantly but i have to break through it all.
Its a psychological addiction for me as much as the physical cravings.
Hot days makes it worse,its strange but true.
Good luck all.

Supping on a Guiness zero but really feel like a heavy drink session. So pissed off today that I've injured my knee again, feeling down and want to destroy everything

That's unlucky. Will it take long to heal?

Also, what kind of response do you want right now? I can think of three options for you to choose from:
1. Empathy and a space to vent
2. A reminder not to throw everything away while you're in a temporarily unhappy place
3. Distraction

Which would you prefer? :-)

Hopefully it won't be too serious, I'm going to enjoy this Guinness 0 then watch the dippers match. Your right I ain't going to throw away my hard work so far, I'm just really pissed off but getting smashed will probably make it worse anyway

Yep, and if you get pissed after all this time you'll probably fall over and really knacker your knee!

Stick with it. After 4 weeks it gets much easier. Stick in the tunes but do something productive at same time. I found going for a walk helped out immensely.

Good luck.
 
Keep up the good work folks. I had a number of wobbles over the last few months, started with going on holiday and having a few small ones, before I knew it I was back at it in the house again. I've had two weeks with it out of my system again, and even stayed off it at the match against Liverpool which had all the makings of a day on the beer otherwise.

It's difficult and I know all too well about that nagging hankering.....I've been stood there at the fridge in the shop, knowing its a crap idea and still picking the bottles up to go in my basket. Far from the finished article but happy to be moving in the right(ish) direction again.
 
At this time of the year, emerging from our winter hibernation, we do tend to want to make the most of a warm spring day and the temptation for booze will always be there. For those that are suffering and feel the need to have a chat if no-one is available in the real word, try PMing someone on this thread. A PM will send an email to a poster who isn't actually logged on to BM, who might be available to help.
