Got a good feeling this time is different, feels more of a weight of my shoulders than some terrible sacrifice.

I know lots of us here aren't in AA. But, yeah, I do believe that one tool that is in my Recovery Toolbox is so helpful.
If you are just thinking of drinking, or ready to say F**k it! ..... call a trusted friend/family member. Someone who you can be honest with. Just talking, getting those feelings out can make the difference. Maybe meeting up with that trusted person ... Instead of heading to the bar or store .
And, now I'm going to check the n for the next 24 hours, thanks to my HP, AA, & you here on SR!

Also, regarding moderation. . . . I cannot moderate with potato chips. How on earth can I ever think I could moderate with alcohol ? LOL!
Personally, I found that eating to heal my brain was the ONLY thing that shut my AV down, and took all desire to eat or drink crap away. I crave veggies and healthy fats now. I don't know if it is okay for me to tell you which protocol I follow, but it has changed my life, how I think, gave me back my zest and sense of wellness. Food matters. So when that AV starts talking, pull in the diet boundaries, and eat to heal your brain. AVs tend to shut up when the brain has what it needs to do what it is supposed to do. Just my 2 cents.
