Super super bad day at work. It's driving me crazy, this has been an incredibly difficult week.
Anyway, I've had it.
I bought two bottles of wine, I came home and I sat looking at it.
Anyway, I opened them and dumped them down the sink. Waste of $30 and I still want the bloody things, but at least I didn't drink any.

I had a little heart attack when I read the title of your post but I am so glad you did what you did. Forget about the money, you just saved your sobriety.

There are going to be difficult weeks/months/years. But what you did was brave. Next time, just come right on here before buying the wine so you don't even get close.

Hang in there, Jsbodhi. Hugs.

Well done!!!
You didn't waste $30, you made the right choice. Your health is worth $30, right? Work stress is tough, it's a big trigger for me, i hate it too. But dealing with these problems by just flat out escaping and medicating locks us into these dysfunctional situations because people learn they can sheet on us, and we just become more morose and easy to control. I have years and years of not fighting back because i was too sickly hung over to stand up for myself. Well done.

You invested $30 in your recovery
You'll look back someday soon in a great new life and marvel at how cheap that way Bodhi

Sounds like you just invested some money in your sobriety. Worth it!

Yes thanks guys
It just feels like the evil addiction gods are after me this week! They have their sights on me!!!!
But tomorrow is monday, and hopefully this coming week is better.
Wish I could just go to bed, but I'll be up until 2 or 3 am writing a paper on solitary confinement in USA prisons, that'll lighten my mood......

And thank you for the words of encouragement everyone xoxo

30 bucks well wasted. If you had drank it still would have cost 30 bucks and you would have felt like a big P.O.S. Now you know you can stare the devil in the eye. I wouldn't make a habit out of it. Could get costly

30 is nothing... You've probably already saved that a couple times over, right? And will make it up soon too!

Work is a big one for me too... Even now.... I had a couple of days about a month ago where I remembered why I drank. So I did something else instead, journaled. Get that crap out of your head.

Good job on dumping the wine. That is awesome stuff!

So glad you didn't drink it. Backtracking is the worst feeling! Remember my post and how miserable I was yesterday? ya I still feel like that. You don't want to backtrack trust me. Proud do you for poring it out.

I can do all things through he who strengthens me

That's great! I don't know if I would have been strong enough, but there is some leftover wine from the holidays that I need to dump asap. Thanks for the reminder.
