We all have to get gas in our cars, trucks, motorcycles,
boats, lawnmowers, powered tools. It's a necessity in life.
I remember way back when when you could just drive up
and let the service station attendant fill it up for you so you
never have to get out of your car.
Now you drive up and get out put ur card in the machine
and then your ready to fill up hoping the machine isnt malfunctioning
and in that case you have to go in. Yuk!!
Avoiding to walk in if all possible, get ur gas with a card. Grab a
can coke or something to drink on the way home or before so
thirst isnt an issue.
Going a different route away from all the stations you see along
the way. Maybe have someone fill ur car up with gas when u get
home if you are really squirrely to stop.
When urges pop in my head I emmediately begin saying the
Serenity Prayer I quickly memorized so its on hand anytime
I need it. Saying it over and over till the urge leaves.
A meeting at noon would calm you down during the day. A
evening meeting would also help.
I went to any lengths to drink during my drinking career, so
I go to any lengths to stay sober because my recovery is very
important to me.
Life continues to get better as the promises come true the longer
one stays sober.
