Day #, Date, Time:

Quite the opposite of the night before last, I had one of the best night’s sleep ever last night. I woke up to my alarm, ready to get out of bed. I had morning energy that I have not had in a long time. I really think that wine was affecting my sleep, and in turn, my next day’s energy and clarity of thinking. When I came home from work and began to cook however, my cravings for wine returned. I think it was the association of chopping and sautéing food that made me crave a glass of wine while cooking. Instead, I filled a stem glass with club soda and lime. Honestly, once I was finished cooking and sitting down to dinner with my family, the cravings went away. (Only 3 to 4 sentences – Not this long)

·
On a 1-10 scale (1=easy—10=hard) today’s difficulty or ease of abstaining was an 8.

·
Stage of Change: I am currently in the action stage in the Stages of Change model because I am abstaining from drinking wine.

·
Physical or emotional withdrawal symptoms: I have had a headache all week, but I’m not sure if that is related to me experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

·
Mood: I felt a little frustrated that I couldn’t open a bottle of wine, but the feeling passed after dinner.

·
Thoughts: I am hopeful that I can abstain for 4 weeks, but I’m not entirely optimistic for some reason. Habits are so hard to break. Especially when there are other people relying on you to follow through with a certain behavior. How do you go about finding that fine line in not wanting to let people down but also maintaining your sobriety? What if the only way to calm my thoughts would be to drink wine? Addicts use substance as a coping mechanism. What happens when they are taken away?

·
Source of support: My colleagues are supportive of my choice to give up wine.

·
Sabotage: No one attempted to sabotage my efforts today.
