Oh, thank you guys for replying. It really helped. Although, I am proud that I've refrained I am upset about my huge appetite. The chocolate isn't really working, I've just been ravenous for any type of food. However, I know it's much more important for me to stop drinking.
I picked up "Sober For Good" from the library and I can relate to so many of the stories. Also, since I have not yet been to AA (I'm not in denial, I just a loner type and am very uncomfortable in group settings) this book offers advice from those who have succeeded with and without AA.
Anyway, I've been a bit down. Weather sucks, my clothes don't fit, I'm getting old, I've been pushed aside in my job and now have no work (if it wasn't a state job, I'd been fired/layed off long ago). . . BUT, I'm NOT drinking, my year old lab is the most wonderful dog in the world and so is my husband, uh, that's the most wonderful man in the world, not dog.
Geez, I'm rambling. Congrats to the rest of you as well, whether you've been sober for x amount of days or still trying. Your here, on this thread, and for me, that was huge step.
I'm looking forward to my 30-day virtual chip. SuperBowl Sunday was the last time I drank, and it was a doozy. I never want to feel like that again.
