Day 8 and still dry.........I had some conflict with a customer yesterday and the temptation to drink did rear its head......but one thing I think i had not thought very hard about in the past was that the temptation if often fleeting and short lived.....giving in immediately has been a past response but this time I did not give in and the feeling passed.........this morning on waking up with a clear head I felt a little better about myself the potential that we all have to succeed at this thing and have a qualitatively better life and be on the planet somewhat longer...........garvo.......
