Go away!
Stupid voice in my head.
Says, well, three bucks in pocket- enough to go next door and get a beer to sip at work. Never ever once in my life have I done that. But I work alone. Three bucks ain't enough to buy anything to eat which is the real problem, I am on another 10 hour shift with no food since this morning.
gross. yeah I know, I'm not gonna do it but I needed to purge.
I'm so freaking hungry.

Ok.
SO.
This is messed up, but I have already decided that since I have to bike home, my BF knows I am not eating all day and has not offered to buy me anything (which he absolutely can without a problem) I have a right to a drink after work tonight.

Sleepie, why don't you ask your boyfriend for some food? Can he send you some delivery? Maybe he's a little oblivious and doesn't realize. Ask him!
It's stupid to give yourself permission to drink.
You're better than that.
Love from Lenina

But you want to be sober too, right? So just give him a call, tell him you're starved and you'd love it if he could send you some delivery. Men are not very good mind readers. Sometimes we have to work at getting our needs met. I consider it self care.
Do it,OK? A lot better than starving and being miserable and setting yourself up.

sleepie, call him and ask for the delivery
You recognize that is your AV voice saying "you have a right to drink" don't you?
Like Lenina says, this is self-care and that's part of getting better and making better choices.
Hang in there

If you don't ask him and he doesn't figure it out you are setting yourself up to be irritated with him and have an excuse to drink. Let him know you would like some food and let him do you a favor. He feels good and you feel good. Most of all you have no excuse to drink.

Like that commercial says "Have a snickers. You're not yourself when you're hungry"
Make the call!
Love from Lenina
PS. There are no reasons to drink. Only excuses. Once I realized that, it got a lot easier to stay sober

Yes I know it's immature.

Mine did the same thing until I quit listening.
Whatever he does or doesn't do, the choice to stay sober is yours.
You've worked hard for this sober week--keep it going sleepie
