Was tempted to drink, then remembered from past experience a full stomach works wonders

[progree]

to greatly reduce the cravings, so have been eating a sandwich or bowl of soup or somesuch about every hour. (A lot of liquid helps too). No, I haven't had any of the wrong kind of liquid yet, and its very unlikely now. And I haven't even had my regular dinner yet, I'm just about to start it.

Learned that in my drinking days and early sober days, I would be thinking of going to McDonalds and then to the bar, but after McDonalds, I found that I really didn't care to go to the bar.

1. When I drank, every "craving" I had was filled w booze

If I was hungry, my impulse was booze. Thirsty, booze. Etc etc

I always say now that I confused my cravings. All roads led to drinking for me then.

Now, like you say, go to McDs and craving filled, no need for anything else.

There's another member in the group who eats a bowl of ice cream. I've started that myself.

2. Heck yeah, get some good grub. The election is important but you know what your priorities are.

One thing for sure is we will be in and out of this website all night and probably all day tomorrow (yada), so chime in if you want to or just want an ear. It's all good...ok...it could be better but here we are....

3. Another reason I said naah to the booze was likely to be a bad scene with me alc'd up and responding

to postings or OP'ing. Already am irritated by some postings but this is my night to let be whatever will be. I don't want to wake up hungover and growly to a mailbox tomorrow with emails titled "Post Removed"

4. If things go downhill there will be posts that irritate someone. Let em go..lol...just people

on our side trying to sort things out.
