One day at a time. Sometimes easier said than done. Funny how in an instant your whole perspective can change. I was feeling on top of the world today then had a personal issue come up and immediately wanted a beer. Thats what the old me would have done. I instead went to a meeting, shared and left my sponsor a message. Craving gone for now. Wont drink tonight. Rinse and repeat tomorrow.

Well done Steve Alex. Rinse, repeat, I learnt that here, it's a good one.

I hear you. Had quite a vexing day at work on Friday and immediately thought "old" thoughts of going to the bar after. Of course I didn't. But it's strange how sobriety is so easy some days and you think "I got this" and then literally in a second, AV rears up like a cobra. My sobriety journey thus far has been fairly drama free, so this made me realize that triggers are still hovering. It helped to strengthen my resolve to never drink again. Glad you denied the beast.

Good job Steve. You took action. NEVER give in, never!

Well done. And trust me, with time, the trigger to immediately reach for a bottle at the first hint of distress will subside. Not sure if it will ever completely go away, but it does diminish.

Have a beautiful, sober day.
