Thanks for the bday wishes
Had a nice lunch, my mom had wine but I refrained. See- that's the easy part. Now I'm home alone for a couple of hours and really tempted. Which is stupid since just this morning I posted how sure I was I wouldn't drink.
It's really been a great day so far and as much as beer sounds appealing to me right now in my little drinking fantasy- the truth is that my day will quickly go downhill if I drink. I worked hard on my yard and porch today and the weather is nice but if I drink I'll just feel lazy and loopy and not even go out and enjoy it. When my kids get back, I'll be buzz and not connect with them like I do sober. I'll either pass out early or stay up too late and wake up feeling like crap for my day off tomorrow, hating myself for not only drinking but for breaking my promise not to drink on my birthday ever again.
Sounds like loads of fun, doesn't it??
Boy, typing that out really helped. I swear I was about 5 minutes from going to the store and buying beer- ha! Take that AV!!
