Call it the start of summer weather or a three day weekend, was craving "a" drink a lot today.
It got to the point where the urge was overwhelming - I had worked out, grocery shopped, cleaned, organized... there was nothing left to do but drink.
But I held on - I can't get to day 50, 100, 3333 if I drink today.
Now that I am getting ready to go to bed, I am so very glad I didn't give in.
The point of this post though is that I had to ride the wave AND be in the right environment. If I was sitting in a bar or otherwise had booze in front of me, I don't think I would have been successful.
Like it or not, I am going to have to stay away from access to alcohol until the urges get better.
Tomorrow is Day 7. I hate that I am already tempted this early in, but I am just going to trust that a culmination of consecutive days will bring peace.
I know a lot of people have gone out of their way to offer encouragement and advice to me since I joined 5 months ago, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has meant a lot, and gotten me to the point that I am going to follow through with it this time.
