Anyway, now is the dangerous time for me - I'm no longer hung over, my boss doesn't seem concerned that I missed work again yesterday, all is right with the world. I'm not tempted to drink today but I will be in a day or so. And it's gotten me every time so far....
Backbeat, this thought process was very dangerous for me. I used to binge drink, then scramble the next day to figure out what I did and cover/clean up anything that needed it... Always got away with all of my stupid stuff, so i never was forced to deal with my alcoholism...then I messed up beyond repair on a business trip... Finally caught up to me and I realized I had no control my drinking and needed help. 40 odd days sober and I feel great. The "phew" moments are over and I can now focus on positive and productive stuff. Welcome and best wishes...
