Hi! It's been a busy day and a little rough earlier, but I made it. We were out shopping, and I was surrounded by booze and shopping with people that were already buzzed, so drinking did cross my mind. I replaced those thoughts with reasons why I don't drink anymore, and that really helped. Later I got frustrated with my significant other, and the thought of oh screw it, I'm just going to drink popped in my head. I told myself if I do that, I'm not allowing myself to grow and learn how to deal with difficult situations. I've matured a lot over these last three months, and if I drink to deal with a situation now, I will not only stunt my growth but also revert back to poor, immature coping mechanisms. I don't want to do that! I knew I deep down I didn't really want to drink, so I poured some sparkling juice and let those thoughts pass. And they did! Today was hard at times, but I really feel like I made progress.
