found can of beer in fridge
So I completely forgot about that one 24oz can of beer way in the back of my fridge. I had it since last week when I was tapering off to advoid bad withdrawals. I keep the can in there incase I had bad symptoms an needed to call them. I know its only one can but that one can is starting to call my name. Plus I'm on day 4 of absolutely no alcohol so I think I'mpast the worst of wwithdrawals I don't think iI would need that beer for an emergency withdrawal symptom at this point. I'll just pour it out... Yes I'll pour it out.

4 years sober and i bet i could still find an old beer can in the yard somewhere.... heck i foudn an empty pack of smokes in the garage the other day! and its been 3 years.
I held on to 18 beers when i got sober for about the first year. i was afaid i might need them. ::facepalm:: but I also think it made me stronger having them sit there and saying no to them all the time. I eventually let my brother drink them down and that was that. 2 years in or so I poured my buckets of wine that i had made. I think there is now no more booze left in my house.. but for some reason i think there is a stray bottle of apple jack somewhere.

Congrats on four days, you are alcohol free. How hard was it to get those four all that lead up to them? It's rhetoric, I remember. And now being on the other side of the four, that's hard to do, you should be very proud. I was of myself , I know what it means.
The work now is to stay here on this side of drinking , the being quit side. You can and I'm rooting for ya. Pout it out , throw/give it away whatever, just don't let anything convince you that one can is worth bringing all the crap back. It's not a beer can , it's a crap can toss it. You got this

Ya know, once I quit it did not matter. I had a few left over beers in my fridge for a very long time. I have a few recipes that use beer. The alcohol is cooked off, and sponsor said no problem.
I figure if I want to drink, I will. The decision was made - I was done.
Maybe this would be fool hearty for someone struggling, but it really had no effect on me at all. I accepted I was an alcoholic and could not drink.
Dump it or not.
Just don't drink it........

The case of the lone beer! What is its status, location... is it still a threat? It can not be left unguarded, it needs to be destroyed! This mystery needs to be solved asap! I see an idea for a screenplay shaping up.

Nice work Toni. I think you are right on the money with your comment about needing to find ways to better deal with stress. That's really the key to sobriety...finding ways to face life and cope in constructive, healthy ways.
Exercise, breathing, meditation, music, relaxation or just leaving the room for a minute to collect your thoughts are some ways to deal with stress..there are others too of course, hope you can find some that work for you.
