It sounds like your AV is having a little chatter in your head right now. You say you are tempted to drink today and with St Paddys tomorrow ...that sounds like an AV lining you up for a drinking weekend if you are not careful. It would seem to be saying "Why not drink today because you are sure as hell going to drink tomorrow with it being St Paddys day and all that".. Well thing is this. You are going to get these temptations otherwise you wouldnt be here in the first place. It is how you manage them that counts now. DO NOT DRINK! Is the first part of the plan. Go to an AA meeting, sit on here and read posts etc, go watch a movie, anything just don't drink and let yourself go back 3 weeks. You can do it and you want to wake up on Sunday morning hangover free and being able to pat yourself on the back.
All the best
