Also I have some decisions to make regarding my daughter's school and this is usually done by sitting down with my husband and discussing it over a drink. So therefore I NEED to have a drink. What if I just have a couple (yeah right - never happens)
I have had those same arguments in my head. One voice can always come up with an excuse to drink, the other knows I should not.
The voice who thinks I should drink again is the voice of my addiction. In 25 years that voice has not told me one true thing. It is a liar and a thief.
I stopped taking advice from a known liar. That voice told me I'd never feel OK if I didn't drink again. Just another lie. In fact, my life got much better.
You can do this!
