Hanging in there
I've had two situations in the last 24 hours where my mind was telling me that a drink would make things better. A baseball game where everyone in our group was drinking except me and a 10 year old and my flight home got cancelled and how drinking in the privacy of my hotel room would be nice. I have not caved to the temptation. I'm hanging tough and feeling grateful.

Congratulations to you

Soberandhealthy it will get better. No need to feel like a moron for saving yourself from pain and misery. I acted like a moron when I drank, not by drinking coffee.
Give sobriety a chance. The anxiety and boredom goes away with time. Trust me, you're in for a treat. It's remarkable. Just give it time.

Glad you made it through LadyBug. Learning to deal with these kinds of situations is what sobriety is all about. Especially learning that It's not the situation itself that is the problem, but how we choose to react.
