Wow, I had a rough couple of days--Know what it taught me? It taught me to be thankful for the tools I have acquired to deal with stress (which makes me want to drink, sometimes). I recognized I was thinking of drinking, I made a phone call to another alcoholic, I meditated, I prayed, I went to a meeting immediately and I shared my thoughts. Guess What? I got through without drinking--for me that was an absolute miracle.
So that is why I say: I am so grateful for the tools and knowing what I can do to help me NOT drink today.
