I had a GOOD day today. It would not have happened if I had drank last night.
The trigger for my craving was a doctor suggesting an unexpected mental health diagnosis for me...I was so scared! My anxiety went through the roof! Well, I went to my GP appointment today and was able to talk sensibly to her about the other doctors suggestion. My GP was so reassuring. She totally calmed my fears.
I couldn't have had this valuable discussion with my GP today, if I had been dragging myself into her office smelling of booze and hungover! And also, I was able to tell my GP that I am 28 days sober....and that felt really good.
After the GP appointment I went to work. I have had a major stress at work for the last few weeks due to falling out with a colleague a few weeks ago. It's been stressing me out every day. Today, for the first time in weeks, me and this colleague actually got on amicably with each other! We were both making an effort to move on from our fall out...and I think we have turned a corner...which is great. I know for sure if I had gone to work hungover and grumpy we would not have made this positive progress.
After work I met up with my best friend and her gorgeous young baby for coffee and a chat.
So by staying sober last night I have had a fairly fab day today and made some progress solving some of my problems.
Believe it or not I've still got some alcohol cravings today...but they are not strong
I am so glad that I did not drink last night. I am so thankful to this community. And I am going to save this thread and refer to it if needed in the future.
Thanks again everyone...you are all truly amazing
