This place IS amazing and I highly recommend making a part of a plan coming here to post RIGHT AWAY when you have an urge. The power of that action is unsurpassed. Just doing that made me feel better.

IT WORKS!

Nuudawn, you have it right, all of you guys were there with me. lessgravity, you are so sweet, thank you for the kind words. All of you, you helped me through this. I thought of you all and this place and it was what I needed.

It was just bad luck that what occurred did just at the time that it did, right before heading to a wings and beer place. Not that any time is good for a trigger.

You all made the difference for me today. That was probably the 2nd worst that it's been so far. When that waiter approached the table to tell us about all the wonderful beer specials I thought about all of you in my mind saying YOU CAN DO THIS. I ordered a seltzer water with a lime wedge, and I enjoyed it.

Even though I made the physical decision not to drink having you all behind me was the difference I needed.

Thank you all so much
Kind words - you deserve it, you've helped more than a few on this site, including this guy. Love it, excellent work. Only those of us who walk this path can understand just how hard you had to work and how satisfied you (should!) feel now.

One thing I've been saying to myself in moments of weakness/struggle/crave =

The obstacle is the path. The obstacle is the path.
