Today I'm doing a lot of playing the tape to the end. I knew today would be rough. Taking my younger daughter - my very observant daughter -
To a sleepover at 1pm. It would be very easy for me to buy some wine or beer and drink it through the the day and night. But... Really ...start drinking in the early afternoon after 16 days sober? How's that going to end? How's that going to feel tomorrow? Doing that is basically saying forget it--- to anything good going on in my life right now.
This feeling is temporary. I'm going to let it pass and come out on the other side.
