When I say no way, no how to alcohol, I only hear one voice and it is saying "Attaboy! You can do this!"

ÂÂ “S#^t here we go again” is EXACTLY what I said right before I took the first drink the last time I relapsed. I knew, and continue to know, where it’s going to head. ÂÂ Exactly why this time was different, I don’t know but I can think back to all of the times I didn’t turn around even though just about every instinct in my mind and body told me that I was about to makeÂÂ a very bad decision. I’m just thankful for whatever gave me the conscience to make the right call. The craving is still there today but I slept like a baby last night and that alone is worth more than any drink of evil. Appreciate your support!
