How quickly the mind can change to convince that just having a few beers is a fair reward for a few days worked.
Full of self pity, petty resentments, looking at others and mind reading that they are having a wonderful life in comparison to me with my troubles.
Thankfully I did not buy the drink and chose to let the feeling pass and I am grateful for making that choice this morning.
It was a tough evening of self absorption and self flagellation that I want to move on from quickly.
Today is a new day and I only have to live this one day today, and to live it better than I have before I only have to not pick up the first drink.
Back to thoughts of gratitude and being fair and reasonable to others, including myself, and living mindfully with an outward focus.
