So, today I saw my wife since we separated last March. We had a pleasant but, cordial conversation. While she was here I felt a lot of anxiety. After she left a lot of sorrow. Yes my av was talking pretty loud to me. No I haven't had anything to drink. Realized that drinking would have just shunted my feelings and, I would just have to deal with them tomorrow with a hangover besides. Instead I went for a walk, exercised and, did some cleaning, part of my plan. It's working. I don't plan to drink over it now. Maybe I've made some progress. Sorry, just needed to vent a little.

Yah, when I got sober, I could feel my feelings and those feelings would then make me want to drink..such a complicated issue...you did the absolutely correct thing by taking ACTION, getting out of your head etc. good job!
