Day 4 (I want a drink)
It is day four…I am 1,300 miles from my family and it is holiday.. never was one for the holidays. I aways got very drunk on holidays..
It is a nice sunny day and found myself at the pool. Then I noticed several people having cocktails.. of course one of my favorite things to do is drink and sit by the pool.. I found myself trying to make a deal again.. I went back and forth about going to the store to get some coronas and I almost did..
I removed myself from the pool area went home and got on this website – which helped.
Again I reminded myself that I have to work tomorrow, I have done such a great job thus far and I will regret tomorrow and feel much worse than I do now..and have to deal with whatever bad behavoir I did the night before...
I hope I make it today…

the early days are hard sobertime...you did well not to cave, and to come here for support
Using support like SR, playing the tape through - forcing myself to look at the consequences - and realising that cravings/triggers need not be acted upon were very useful tools for me.
Keep up the good work
