had really bad craving

[davidr714]

hi ive been away from the forum still sober 15 days now. well today had horrible cravings, and thinking about drinking really for the last 5 days non stop. well i was all set to go out and get drunk. but i got down on my knees and told god that i was giving up that i was going to drink unless he had different plans, and he would have to do it because i couldnt do it.  well after the prayer i lost the deseir to drink. i then called my sponsor and he told me to get my big book out and pray for all people who wrote thier numbers down to get out side of my self. it worked i feel a lot better. most importantly it worked, and i m still sober.

Hold your head high david because your not giving into these  powerful cravings. You are putting work into your recovery now and although things may seem tough, were you happier on the sauce? You said you just wanted to sleep when you drank and alcohol just adds to the depression. So happy to hear you attending AA and have a sponser. You have come too far now to give in. I know we used different drugs, but I wanted to let you know i craved everyday for my first month, I woke up dreaming about using and it consumed me still. Then one day I woke up and didn't think about it, it slowy begin to diminish and although sometimes it's still a battle, I promise ya man, it gets easier. Stick to this and you will see. Congrats on 16 days.

hi back again today still sober, though i had a really close call almost drank, i mean i had decided that i would go and get drunk, but prayed and called my sponsor and told him i was craving a drink. anyway i was salaviting all day over a drink. i m very very tired of fighting them the cravings. i dont know how much longer i can keep fighting. all i ever think about is drinking, i cant enjoy things because i craving to much to focus. i mean i cant even walk safly down the street at times i think so much about the drinking i at times foget about traiffic. its so hard im so depprsed, at times my anger is so large i hate this ints not fair i have to feel this way. i cant even enjoy a good book because thoughts of drinking interefre with that. i m not giving in though.
