oh what the heck, what's a little beer?

That's what i was thinking today on my ride home from work, my first day back at work after some family issues, I was weak, tired, sad, all that, But's that's the train of thought just before a relapse for me, "oh what the heck" (i didn't drink tho). I'm so glad i didn't drink, would be passed out by now, lousy in the morning. Seems like the ride home from work is the big time for cravings because in the morning I'm so happy about not drinking, and in the late evening I'm happy I didn't drink, so I'm thinking of popping into SR before the ride home, to get some non-drinking amo. thanks for readin, dan

Jumpin on SR before the drive home is a great idea. I've had to do that as well to remind myself why I choose sobriety.

Excellent...you nipped that thought in the bud!

Popping into SR before the ride home is good idea, too.

It's all about doing things differently and that support us in our goal.

Maybe there's a scenic route you can take home where you can enjoy the sights as you drive by?

Keep going...you're doing it!

Thanks guys, Gateway to hell, that's good Dee, I'll remember that. reminds me of that AC/DC song, I'm on the highway to hell! I wonder if that's what he's singing about, going to get a fix?

No such thing as "a little beer" for me.

Now, what's for dinner?

Congrats Dan, doesn't it feel great when you do resist the urge? Whenever I get those thoughts it's Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for me!
