Slid right through it....
Yay! Day 14! Made it to it, made it through it!
The shop I work in serves wine and beer. Aside from my poor judgment a little over a year ago, when I thought it would be smart to "take the edge off" at 7 am, to calm the nerves and shakes, and have some wine before work (at home) and whilst at work, it hasn't been a problem. (fortunately my boss could see thru my actions and realized the pain I was going thru and fully supported me in my recovery) (haven't revisited that type of situation, thankfully)
Anyways a lot of times after work the girls will have a glass of wine while they are cleaning up or doing their evening responsibilities. Myself included. And tonight the thoughts flooded my brain as I was there alone, waiting formy last client of the night. It's there at my fingertips if I want it. But so is my phone.... So is SR and tonight I chose the latter. I made some phone calls and checked out the threads and repeated the serenity prayer and got thru it.
I'm not changing jobs or making it an issue because it's a challenge that I will have to face. I did it today. And as long as I do tomorrow what I did today, I have a real good shot at recovery.
Just wanted to shared experience. Putting day 14 to bed. Good night SR.

Great on your days
It gets easier in time. Feeling better and fading memories were real traps for me. Triggers and opportunities to drink are everywhere.
i came to believe it was important not to act on the spur of the moment- things always roll around
