Hi NAP
Welcome back - over a year is great

Obviously you have some stresses right now - do you have anyone to talk to?
All drinking ever can be is a temporary respite, and that doesn't always work.

What else have you done with yourself besides not drinking?

It's true we want to drink because we're alcoholics, but it was very important for me to deal with the issues that factored into me taking up drink in the first place.

I knew unless I found new and better ways to deal with those issues, I was probably likely to repeat the mistakes of the past.

In the end, though, you didn't drink tonight and that's a great thing - but I'd still think about the reasons behind this sudden craving, NAP...

and...I'd buy my chocolate elsewhere in future, mate...it's not like there's not a 24 hour convenience store on nearly every corner
