Thank you everyone for the support. This is a really strong class. I am determined that this won't stop me. But I do need to watch out for anger and self-pity. The day before (Monday) I also felt like drinking, but H distracted me just long enough so that I didn't do it--need to remember that too. Even something silly like eating the samples at Costco is enough to make me focus on something besides the craving (yay snacks!) I also need to remember to write every day, including my gratitude list. I had not done that either Monday or Tuesday due to early morning meetings. Writing and seeing a counselor are new strategies for me this time around, and I believe those combined with SR are why I was even able to get a month. I've learned a lot and will keep going,--but with more alertness to the AV and a healthy fear of what could happen. What I think of the most is that I could kill myself or someone else drunk driving. Eeek.
