Hi All. Made it through the weekend. Had some cravings last night and this afternoon. Was staying with some friends and we were out at dinner last night and I actually looked at the drink list. Decided a few drinks wouldn't be what I wanted and would leave me hungover in the morning. Again at lunch this afternoon contemplated drinks with lunch (played the tape through...where would drinks at lunch leave me? To sober up the rest of the afternoon and not be hungover tomorrow/miss work again? No, a few drinks at lunch would cause me to continue drinking all day and definitely miss work. So I decided no). At first I felt shame for even considering drinking. But I realized I shouldn't feel ashamed, because it was my AV who had those thoughts. And I was strong for not allowing any drinking to take place.
I checked out a book from the library yesterday: "Smashed" by Koren Zailckas. So far so good. I'll let you guys know what I think.
I hope you all have a good start to the week!
