Day 7
Today is Day 7. Overall it's been a good week, but I'm a little anxious about the week ahead. It's going to be busy and potentially stressful at work which can cause after work cravings, and in past attempts at sobriety I've given in to the AV around Days 7 to 12. It goes something like "You've been really good and really....if you just only drink once in a while it shouldn't be a big deal" I've been down that road and it always ends up in a nearly daily pattern of drinking and hang over that just makes work and personal life hard to live through a fog of feeling sick, irritable and demotivated. I'm meeting my accountability partner for coffee tomorrow after work, so I'll share my fears with her. She's made clear that she's available 24/7 if I need to talk, but I worry my ego is still so big that I won't be humble enough to call and may try to just work it out on my own. Maybe I should share that with her as well. Any thoughts or encouragement for the week ahead?
