I have ABSOLUTE faith in you Josafe 
But I believe pouring out the booze is a far greater test, and illustration of your strength.
You don't need to set up a scenario to face your demons - you'll have many more temptations.
I used to think that staring my demons down was the way too - but whether I passed the test or not, I went back to drinking anyway.
It's not about one battle...this is a long war.
A marathon not a sprint.
I think leaving it til Saturday, and this turmoil you're in, is your addiction talking - there's no reason for you to keep the booze otherwise....
but ultimately - this is my experience, and it's your decision
I'm done. I'll leave you alone now
best wishes

Josafe please don't listen to that little demon that is telling you to hold it just in case. Just in case what? Just in case you want to face more guilt shame and remorse and most likely some unpleasant consequences.

I am glad I joined. Thank you for pushing me to do the right thing.
This why I used to fail. I guess I was just fooling myself. Why on earth would I keep the vodka until Sat any way? If I aint gonna drink it why keep it..right?
Lol now Im angry that I wasted money on the alcohol.

Josafe.... YOU.... Wait for it..... TOTALLY ROCK!!!
You did the biggest step, now push forward with little steps. First I recommend is a change of your routine, I mean totally. If you used to finish work and pound back a few, do something else, go see someone sober, go to AA, have early dinner, sit at a different seat, post here.
