Day 3....cleared a hurdle

The heat was on earlier this afternoon as I suspected it would be. Day 1 I was hungover and didn't even like the thought of alcohol. Day 2 I was kind of on a high about deciding to quit drinking plus it was an "off" day in my binge pattern.

I knew when I went back to work it would get real. Usually when I leave the office at 4:30pm I walk by the liquor store and buy my fix for the evening. Around 4 I started to feel some strong cravings, and I really needed to post on this forum which wouldn't have been wise due to personal use of my office computer.

Along with the cravings I had this little voice inside telling me it wouldn't be so bad to just go ahead and indulge a little bit. Somehow I was able to push through it and walked home a different way that didn't go by the liquor store. By the time I was halfway home the cravings had subsided, and I knew I was going to be okay....for now.

I really need to figure out a way to get connected to this forum when I'm at work because I really needed the support there for a few minutes this afternoon.

Do you have a smartphone you could use to access the forum? Lots of people here use their phones to check in when away from home.

You could also clear the browsing history if you use a shared computer. If its a computer where you are on a shared network and perhaps someone monitoring, then I'd advise to stay away from the computer and use your phone as @least mentioned. There's actually an app for the iphone...

I have an iPhone, so the app would be a great idea. Where do I find instructions on where to get it?

If you open SR in safari, a banner should pop up at the top of the screen prompting you to download the app. I believe it is $0.99.
