Day 11 and struggling with the AV...Sundays were always the day I started "relaxing" (i.e. drinking) mid-afternoon, and today the urge was as great as ever. AV would reason that I had done a lot of work all weekend - cleaning, painting, cooking - and that my body needed to rest but my mind needed a little help from our old friend Merlot. But this Sunday I said: not today Satan! Couldn't believe it myself but for the first time in - well, YEARS - I managed to relax and watch TV and play games completely sober!
And one of the things I did to pass the time was read Rational Recovery and many SR posts - so thank you Class of December 15 for helping me reach another milestone, and congratulations to all of you for another sober weekend!
