Findingtheway

So I'm through day 16...guess today was a test. I bended but I didn't break.

Solid day at work. Did my noon AA meeting. Came back and worked the rest of the afternoon. 5 pm hits....

AND my AV goes freaking haywire!!

Even though I'm restricting my access to $...I had enough for a bottle...a small bottle...any bottle...

Had to actually sit and process the thoughts and emotions...this was a tough one. Got on the subway to go home...AV still chirping away...

Thought ok...time for another meeting...went to an evening AA meeting. And the thoughts/cravings have subsided.

Feeling ok now...do not want to drink...my resolve is strong again.

Had to fight for my sobriety today...this was a test..intense craving out of nowhere...I'm in bed now and sober. Thank god I'm through today.

Have a safe and sober night friends. Day 17 comes my way tomorrow.

Hey finding.

I am so glad you processed the thoughts and got through.

AA meetings help me to conquer the cravings too. Sometimes my head will tell me I don't need a meeting, I am fine, to turn around on the way there. I just point my feet in the correct direction and keep on walking, even when AV screams at me to turn back. The AV does not control my feet!

You are doing great my friend.
