I got home, had a quick snack, took the dog out and when I got home, the urge had gone.
For me, the urges were always after work and I've just been paid so that's normally when I'd spend the most and get the most drunk in a month.
However, this month I've had some unexpected bills to pay. In the previous month's, I'd stick my head in the sand and just not care...as long as I could numb myself with booze, I was happy.
Today though I played the tape forward and realised- I don't want that. I want to improve financially and drinking isn't going to help one bit.
