I am so glad to be here sober writing this.
My day has been so long and chaotic. Never get into situations you can't leave when you want, is my advice, and that includes accepting lifts from friends who then say: Would you mind if I just popped into... etc. For hours I was stuck. I've done more than I normally do in a month.
By this evening, I got to drinks party and realised I couldn't cope without a drink and it was a pretty close call whether I would ignore the embarrassment of leaving or cave in to social pressure and stay and drink with the rest of them.
I lied badly, ran for the hills, and went to a meeting which was, by chance, stunningly spiritual and probably saved my life.
I am so tired now. Always, I'm reminded that I will have to leave that old lifestyle behind.
I want to know how all your days went/are going before my head hits the pillow. You have come to be an important part of my life, all of you.
