Almost had an ahh hell with it moment today

Wow today was a test for me not to blow my 8 weeks sober journey. This was my day:
1. Got up late,of course my Boss is in town.
2. 88 degrees up here on the north coast, AC in my car decided today was the day to crap out.
3. Had two sales appointments cancel on me.
4. Came home to a clogged bathroom sink, couldn't find my drain snake.
5. Pulled the drain pipe to the wall only to crack one of the plastic junk PVC Depot crap fittings.
6. Ruined four towels cleaning up the water and black sink sludge.

Now on top of this sterling day my AV is screaming at me to drink, grass needs cut, mower needs gas, dinner not made, nine year old complaining that he is bored and wife won't be home for a few hours. I'm telling you fine folks it would of been easy to fire up the drinking engine again but I didn't. Instead I put a bucket under the sink, took my kid out to eat, tossed the towels, screw the grass mowing and now posting here while laying in bed waiting for my backup to come home.

Yep, drinking would have made all the above worse. Nicely done!

Good job not drinking.
Things can be much worse, my friend.

It's a good idea to ask yourself if drinking would have helped any of it. Certainly not.
