I wanted to drink today out of boredom and general loneliness. Alcohol solves both instantly. However, I am working the steps with a new sponsor and didn't want to throw away the progress I have made. My sponsor has gone out of his way to make time for me. Least I could do is resist a temporary urge to drink so I went for a walk instead of drinking. It helps to be somewhat accountable to someone.
I will go to sleep sober tonight.
