Even the long timers have these thoughts. My friend T has been sober for over 20 years. He went to Mexico last year with a friend and he said while they were laying out on the beach she ordered one of those fancy fruity cocktails and he said it just popped in his mind "I think I will have one too". Said he felt like getting drunk for the first time in many, many years. He said he got freaked out and went up to his room.
So I guess it doesn't always take a bad day.
So very proud of you - you handled it perfectly!
