Day 88.
Yesterday was the most stressful work day in my current job. We all have stress in life and this was right up there. BUT ... I didn't drink. I almost walked out but not to go to buy booze or go to bar, to "wind-down".

I found my choosing to stay sober was my way of saying F-you to the people and situation that upset me so much. I wasn't going to let them break my resolve. I was going to win.

I stayed at work and had a semi-productive day afterwards. Lots to think about, work wise now, but I am proud I held on to my inner strength. To me. This journey is too important to let my disappointment in people f*ck everything up.

Today, I have that thing where you wake up and the previous days events are still with you. I did sleep and am rested enough to take on the day again. I am certain it will be a lot calmer. Happy to feel capable and be hungover free. I have my bike ride at dawn, coffee, reading teammates posts and reflecting a bit before getting ready to face the world.

Thinking of you all. Have a healthy, sober day classmates. One more day !
