Thanks Chuck. I actually did play the tape to the end. I was in a situation where booze was readily available. It was work related. I did well actually, and I made it through 4 hours without drinking. I was getting ready to leave, but I decided to have dinner before going. I then decided "what the hell", I'll have a beer with my sushi, and I then set a limit of 3 beers. I overshot that mark.
BTW, although, I could not have avoided the situation entirely, I could have taken care of business earlier in the day. My triggers are much weaker during the day; but for a number of reasons I put myself into the situation right when everyone else was in prime drinking mode. So lesson learned. Get my ass home by evening so I can avoid the triggers.
