Struggling with Alcohol Cravings

That's a great idea! Use any support system to reach out, it's best to get it out and get support instead of re-digging up the hole 😊

Hi! I've recently quit drinking hard alcohol. It's really hard for me. I've been drinking since I was 14, I'm 41 now. All my life I've surrounded myself with people just like me. I remarried 8 years ago and he's not a big drinker and doesn't think "drunk me" is very fun. He hates it. I've never been told anything like that. A couple months ago I went out with a friend and was hungover for 3 days so I decided to stop. Just the hard stuff. The hard stuff makes me want more and more and more. So I switched to wine amd seltzers but I'm still looking for that "buzz" I can't find it anymore and it's actually making me feel sad. I know that's not normal. I feel great otherwise, my mood has changed drastically but I can't shake the feeling that I "lost a friend"

You may be desperate enough for change that even the most ridiculous change (not suggesting that this one is) could very well keep you sober long enough to add new behaviors, building your spiritual armor against your addiction. No matter fucking what, just don't pick up. That way it can not get in your mouth! Also, getting angry at the d.o.c. is where you're at. Be kind to yourself.
