Every time I see beer

It calls me. Look. See how refreshing. How normal. Why can they drink? Why do I alaways go too far?

Beer is a big trigger for me too. I now know that I can't have it in my life in any capacity. I don't want it around me.

I found that a nice cold glass of ginger ale is also very refreshing with less of the guilt, hangovers and negative implications alcohol has had.

I'm learning now that rarely do others really care what's in my glass, I'm the only one fixating on it.

We drink too much and go to far because unfortunately we have a problem with alcohol and others don't. So that's the hand we have been dealt. Now what?
I had to make the choice to be well as alcohol was not enhancing my life in anyway but robbing me of so much. It's hard and it sucks.

Thx for the idea. Nice to know other people get worked up like me.

Hey! I'm good. Day 3. I'm strengthening my muscle that doesn't give in to ideas and urges. It feels good. It's not worth it. I'm glad your mtg was good! Makes me hopeful!

I used to entertain the thought and stare at beer occasionally while in the stores.

I taught myself not to do that for my sponsor told me if I keep entertaining the thought I will drink.

When I think of the beer going down and also think of it coming up because I drink until I puke. Therefore, I will not start.
