Recognising my triggers
After 29 days sober I am starting to recognise the triggers which used to make me want to drink. I am feeling a little stressed at the moment about making a career decision and my immediate thought was to have a drink after work. I didn't though and I'm so pleased, I know it wouldn't have helped me in making up my mind.
Why do we want to drink to escape from reality, things don't become easier if we get drunk, decisions still have to be made the next day and having a hangover makes decision making so much harder.
I am happy sober and that's the way I intend to stay
