Sounds like quite the challenging day yesterday Rar. I think your doing great. Nice job on 18 days.
I've been working on sobriety for two years. I find it best to not think about never drinking again. I failed many times with that approach. Some of the teachings of Rational Recovery are good, but the commitment to never drink again right out of the gate didn't work for me. I now take it a day at a time, the AA philosophy. Commit to 24 hours. Today I won't drink. Just for today.
