Fat (I mean, Fast) food and booze.
Yet again trying sobriety (10 days going on 11 [I hope]). Had a really bad day today even though nothing disastrous happened and the feelings of needing a drinking were going on endless hours. I sat at home after work and decided to go buy McDonald's Big Macs (I guess I wanted drunk food because that stuff is absolutely terrible when you're sober) and a bottle of McMasters (hey, I just noticed the "Mc" theme).
Anyways, I came home and put the bottle aside and ate the food. I kept telling myself to put off drinking. One hour turned into two without having a drink, so I decided to phone my place of work and call off for the next day. Almost immediately after hanging up the phone, my incredibly strong urge to drink myself into oblivion practically vanished. I really hate my job. Really...hate...my...job. It makes me feel like a worthless piece of turd. Anyone else who can relate? Any coping strategies I can try? The more humorous the better. I'm the kind of person who walks away from negative situations whenever possible, but I can't do that while at work or I'll get fired. Please don't tell me to quit (I'd love too!). I have to have this kind of job for a little while longer because I don't have any other options at the moment.
