No Sadie, don't do it! Drinking wine to relieve anxiety is like drinking coffee to combat insomnia. I've learned it the hard way 
Remember the panic and the horrible thoughts after your last hangover.
Can you take a few minutes for yourself? Have a bath? Meditate? Nap? Anything but wine!

Thanks guys!!!!! Safely at home now, no stopping at store. Drove past my exit to a different route home. Yes, I do remember that horrible rebound anxiety and complete amnesia of last binge. Gross! I guess my brain still associates anxiety with drinking, popped out of nowhere, sneaky AV. Taking time to post was key! Safe for the weekend now!

Don't you do it damnit Sadie. !!
My wife even asked for Smirnoff apple from me , on my way home from work. She's got shingles according to the docs.
Crap is non stop.
Going on a repo attempt tomorrow morning , my first ever outside of law enforcement . I'll let y'all know. I'd i don't, I'm in jail, or shot. Lol
I can laugh at that part, ( USMC )
They don't have near the gumption of an Isis character so I'm totally unafraid to do a repo.
Sorry for kooky post .

Today was a tough day. I had my first sober work related panic attack. I've been employing meditation to head off the stress but today was to overpowering for my growing skills. I wanted to drink so badly....but had to convince myself that this would only make the anxiety worse.....in bed by 9 to avoid temptation.

So glad you didn't drink! Omg this crap is so much harder for some of you it appears. I want to be able to help you in some way, but all we can do is support you here. I'm so relieved for you that you didn't give in both of you! Sadie, JL, and Kelly hang in there, I'm praying for you extra!

I'm still having awful anxiety today. Why do I keep worrying about things that I can't control? Ugh. And drinking is not going to fix the economy or my personal finances...I know that! Why does my AV keep wanting a drink?

Feeling better today. Still have a slight headache from all the stress but it feels so good to know that I got through it sober. Today was a better day. The first 45 days were filled with so many positives and I was happy to not be sick all the time......but now it gets a bit harder after I started working again.
