Battling the Urges ....
Seems they all hit me in a wave while sitting here thinking . But I should have known that b\c "in my head" is the biggest trigger. I keep "hearing" how Ok it would be to have a double deuce of beer; How I am off of work tomorrow and if I shower before my Ex. gets home she will never know .. The pain of this on my psyche is the thing that has always driven me to drink ..
At least I think that is the problem I am having . I have none as in Zero as in absence of anything; coping skills . I completed most of my "tasks" I had planned for today; and I got a long day ahead of me tomorrow planned out. Just right now 80 degrees Sunny; seems so right for a couple 22's of beer .. *sigh*

AW, I've accepted I'm going to have to go through some pain and discomfort each day until I can better develop those coping skills. If you keep drinking, you never will. But I think it's the only way to break the vicious cycle. GL

This was very useful to me:

all my drinking life, when the voices spoke, I listened - this helped teach me how not to listen
