But don't you feel great for having made it through the night? Be proud not only for not drinking, but also for feeling the feelings that made you uncomfortable. I think a lot of alcoholics drink to escape uncomfortable feelings- sadness, anxiety, stress, boredom. But if you can make yourself stick it out through those bad feelings when you would have given in to them in the past, you have accomplished something great. When I get past a night where I really really wanted to drink, I always think "I survived that even though I didn't think I could in the past. What else can I do that I thought I couldn't?!"
Nice work!
