Well done...you did well to avoid getting hurt...and if you had picked up a drink...it would have hurt a lot more than that punch in the face would have. You did so well to distract yourself. I used to clean in early sobriety, I was quite manic about it. My sponsor has now taught me how to just sit and be calm and deal with what I need to. But my house isn't as tidy when I do that!!
I'm proud of you for not drinking, emotions are what I drank on and I can identify with just wanting to put them out of your head.
You picked up the phone...instead of a drink...which is amazing!!
