My thought for the day.....
Well, today is day 11 for me and I am feeling ok.

I work in the city of London and whilst walking to work this morning a woman handing out leaflets tried to give me one promoting FREE COCKTAILS!!! I couldnt help thinking 'you idiot, you do not offer free alcohol to an alcoholic'!! Felt like screaming it at her, as I am trying so hard. I guess we dont have a sign draped round our necks. I might have to invest in one

Yes, booze is everywhere in UK!! I find 'one day at a time' and 'just for today' really helped and continues to help my sobriety and recovery.

All The Best

Congrats on both the 11 day mark and the ignoring of the cocktails! That must have been hard! Those flyer people are all over London too.
