Stupid thoughts
I'm not feeling too well today, a bit dizzy and nauseas (not terrible) and just not quite right
12 days sober today and been fine physically for the about the past 5, so not sure if this has anything to do with drinking or if it's all the extra coffee I'm drinking (I drink a lot anyway)or the dodgy fish and chips I had after a meeting last night when no where else was open
But anyway, Its not bad enough for me to go home and il be fine, my point is I caught myself thinking some really stupid things because of it. I was sitting at my desk and feeling gross and actually grabbed my purse without thinking to go buy a bottle of wine to get rid of this sick feeling so I could get on with my work. I'm so used to any illness being caused by a hangover or actual withdrawal that apparently if I feel unwell my first thought is some alcohol will fix it!
I caught myself and realised how ridiculous that is and that I'm not hungover so alcohol will obviously only make me feel worse, but it's as if my body doesn't understand that and is telling me to buy some wine so il feel better
I won't, I have no desire to drink especially not now that I actually feel productive at work, but it scares me how I think like that
Thanks for listening

Thanks guys! Feel better after some lunch and happy that I caught myself quickly, it's getting easier to recognise that AV and after some reading I feel like things are making sense/becoming simpler
