Higher power, bad luck, who knows….
I finished my run last night and the thought of buying wine helped me run longer than ever.
I got to the shop and picked up a bottle of wine walked outside and the bag split and the bottle smashed all over the pavement i was a little shocked and had a feeling maybe something does not want me drinking tonight but i quickly dismissed that thought went back into the shop and got another bottle. Got home and was looking forward to drinking this wine so I got my bottle opener and tried to open the bottle and half the cork snapped off, now i was really pissed off tried to poke it out of the bottle only to get wine in my eyes and the cork broken up in the bottle so it was undrinkable. I smiled too myself poured the wine away and iam another day sober.

With all due respect, you're going to need to find better coping mechanisms so as to prevent yourself from purchasing or consuming alcohol.
You of course are free to believe whatever you want as responsible for your trials yesterday, but clearly, you cannot rely on a set of unknown circumstances to consistently bail you out in situations where you have set yourself up to drink.
Yes?

You are blessed to have not taken the drink. Who knows the reason behind it. What I would be concerned about is that the act was already committed in your head. What's your plan of action to assure that something like this doesnt happen again? We only have so much "luck."

I can relate to that! I would reward myself for 10k runs with big ol' drinking sessions! Never seemed to taste as good as I thought it would...now the alcohol has been out of my system for a couple of weeks it seems incomprehensible that I would want to get drunk immediately after a run rather than enjoying a natural endorphin high....why was I in such a hurry to get drunk, sloppy and then dehydrated, hungover and guilty the next day instead of pleasantly tired?

It's certainly odd. I'm on day 14 but am happily finding that instead of just clock watching to get another day and ride out a craving, normal things keep popping up at night and distracting me. I guess all those things people call life that I was avoiding while holding the bar down.
