We went to a new restaurant where my daughter is a bartender (ironic, isn't it?) and so we sat in the bar. That really got my AV shouting, begging, pleading for just one drink. But I'm hanging in there. I do start thinking, oh what's the problem with one drink, you have this under control now and I think that's what got me last time. But I know that I will NEVER have this under control. My dad was a raging alcoholic and it ended up killing him. I don't want that to be me.
I think you're doing really well! It sounds like you were able to play out the entire scenario in your head and realize that the only outcome of one drink would be more drinks. That's an awesome feat my friend and you should be proud!
