Thanks, CajunPrincess 😊
Today offered the first tough temptation. After a 6-day week of long houred days, picking up a few cans of beer sounded good. But, when I thought about tomorrow morning, it quelled that nervous enthusiasm well enough for me to be able to refrain in relative comfort.
I've always been on an edge with drinking. Like some diabolical balancing act between sobriety and the beer/hangover cycle. Whenever I take one path, I yearn for the other. I've always wanted to either drink, or not drink, without that conflict. I'm placing my faith in that only being possible by not drinking, because I just don't see myself ever being okay with hangovers.
