Difficult day

I had a bit of a difficult day at work. I was feeling annoyed and the thought of blocking out my feelings with alcohol came into my head. I didn't seriously entertain this thought but interesting how instilled that immediate reaction can be. Just thought I'd let you know. Off to hockey for my daughter now - at least with no concerns about driving after drinking!

Instilled indeed, AF. Great job keeping on meeting life's demands without the distilled. It's a relief, no?

I think we used alcohol so much to numb stress, that it became almost a reflex reaction, somehow we need to unlearn that habit and find new ways to overcome the inevitable ups and downs of life!!

Have a great day!!

Thank you SR friends
Yes, tomorrow is a new day. Nice but freezing evening watching hockey. I have a good book to finish tonight and I'm so glad that I will be in bed sober reading it very soon.
