Day 64
Hello!
I've been experiencing wine cravings at times when I normally didn't drink! What the heck is up with that???? I don't get it! It can happen at any time! (Never in the morning though). I could be sitting at my computer at 1:00, home alone, and a craving to drink will hit me! That never happened when I was drinking! I was only ever an evening drinker.
It pisses me off that this is happening to me! Nights are hard enough...now I have to deal with it whenever they pop up? Why? I try to think about what I'm feeling/doing/thinking when the craving hits and most times there is no good reason!!! Ugh!
I told all of this to my friend who knows that I have quit. She had some really good insight. She said that maybe, when I was drinking, I really had those cravings and didn't realize it because in my subconscious I pushed them off knowing that I would be drinking that night. I thought that made a lot of sense! But, it still really irks me that I'm aware of them now! SO NOT FAIR!!!
I really really thought that the cravings would be tough to battle in the evenings, when I normally drank. Now, I have to deal with them whenever they hit! Hopefully, this will stop soon!!!
Hoping you aren't getting cravings at odd times!
Love,

I know at first I had cravings all the time.
ReplyDeleteDay and night. In the shower, on the phone, I never knew when they might come.
The good news is, the cravings diminished so much and now I will rarely have them.
