yesterdays breaking point.
 

Again it was beautiful out, the sun was shining so bright that it actually gave me a sunburn while landscaping in some yard that we work in. I worked extra hard yesterday and on top of that, have a head cold. I was exhausted by the end of the day, (5:30) and all that I could think about was a nice tall glass of beer.
I thought about this for about twenty minutes and really fought with myself over the thought of having one. And then that thought turned into having a couple, and then it turned into setting a limit of "just three."
It's really funny what our minds do.

Today is day 13.

Bury that thought with your next bush.

Do some yoga at home, it doesn't take a studio ya know

Great job!

They say urges come in the shape of a bell curve; slow to start, then build to a peak, then slowly subside. Knowing that helped me ride them out :)

Good for you not drinking that beer. Imagine a hangover, head cold, and working out in the bright sunshine. I couldn't think of a worse mix. Your mind will mess with you in early recovery. Dismiss those thoughts and continue doing what you are doing. It gets better!

Best Wishes to You! :c011:

Good for you for not giving in. For me each time I've not given in to 1 of those urges it empowered me and furthered my resolve to stay in recovery, hope it does the same for you

Tough day, too! a LOT of green beer being served up in my town for St. Patty's Day. Great job not giving in to the "cunning, baffling, and powerful" nature of alcohol!
