I was feeling pretty anxious this afternoon. It reminded me of the way I felt when I quit smoking years ago--I had very intense anxiety and depression for several weeks. Sadly, that was also when I started drinking more.
But I didn't drink today. My husband has a bottle of vodka in the fridge and I see it when I open the fridge door. And I know a shot of vodka would take the edge off the anxiety -- but at a high cost. Not.Going.There.
