almost gave in
So I was lost, with no service and my gas light on. I was freaking out!
I had myself convinced that once I found my way back I was stopping by the liquor store because life isn't fair and I shouldn't have even been in that situation anyway.
I was almost there but I pulled into a gas station first and boom!! The urge was completely gone! I couldn't believe it. I went home and didn't look back.
I guess I didn't really believe that if you just wait it out it will go away. But it's 100% true!
I'm really happy right now
Ps. 7 days for me today!

Way to go, sdjfam! I've found that if you actually physically time the urges, it's amazing how fleeting they really are.
What I think is funny looking back is how many excuses we could come up with for "needing" or "deserving" to drink: Being lost, Not getting lost; Having a bad day, Having a good day; Being sad, Being happy; Losing a job; Getting a promotion; Feeling life is unfair; Feeling we need to celebrate; Feeling young and silly, so why not; Feeling old and hopeless, so why not. Feeling stressed, Feeling like kicking back.
On and on. It makes no sense.
The sooner we recognize those false excuses (AV lies), the better

That has been my life for the past 12 years. I'm very excited to finally break the cycle!
Thank you!
