That feeling will pass eventually by which time you’ll be a few days or weeks more sober. If you let this bad patch lead you to drink, you’ll be looking for a reason to drink the next time and the next. We’ve all been there.

I’m coming up for 6 months and had a few stressful incidents during that time. In the earlier weeks, the temptation to have a drink was overwhelming, but luckily I held off. A few months on, that temptation is in the background in times of stress but much reduced.

Well done on 35 days. Keep going 😀
