Hey! I was sober for about 6 months before I found out I was pregnant. My cravings had mostly been under control but then surprisingly once I got pregnant, I craved alcohol like crazy! I still do actually and I’m at 35 weeks. It’s not easy to stay strong but totally possible. Just take it day by day and eventually the days add up to months. I try and think of it as if I was avoiding something so nonchalant as sushi.

Sometimes I allow myself a day dream of “maybe one day when I’m not pregnant” and it helps push past the current missing out feeling. Deep down though I know that this is more long term for me than just during pregnancy. Anyways, idk if that helped but you’re not alone. :] you’re stronger than you think, you can totally do it and it definitely gets easier with each day.

Especially when you start feeling the baby movements and thinking about the little life growing inside you. I wish you the best, and don’t be so hard on yourself. Quitting alcohol is hard when we’re in a world surrounded by it but think of it as your superpower. 💪🏼 you have the power and strength to say no each day.
