Who cares?", " I am not hurting anyone but myself"..yada yada. THEN....I thought the drink through....one??? Who am I kidding? Do I REALLY want to feel like crap in the morning? Will I start this rollercoaster again? (yes) "Why would I do that to myself?" etc. I even thought about an AV .... in the end....I didn't drink....YAY! And...today...I am sober and have no guilt, remorse, self-pity, incomprehensible demoralization....and I feel great (still stressed, but able to deal with it)
