I've just finished work, eaten and am now heading off soberly to bed.
In all honesty I almost caved and drank. It's wickedly humid here and I was exhausted during work. Those were going to be my excuses. In the last hour of work I felt 80%\20% that I would drink. I guess that the thing that got me through was the experience of being here before.
I knew that if I just waited the cravings would pass. I knew that if I had my, generally healthy, evening meal the cravings would pass. And I knew that by jumping on here the cravings would pass.
And the cravings have indeed passed and I'll wake up tomorrow pleased with myself. I also know that, at least for me, the cravings become less intense after the first week(end). Next time the battle won't be so tough.
