liquor store
 

So i found myself in front of the liquor store an hour ago just sitting there.. but i sat there long enough that i saw myself going in to get two half pints an a pack of smokes... i got the will power to pull off an i went to the grocery store an walked around for twenty minutes... finally i called home an told my kids to put dinner on so it would be ready as soon as i walked in.. i came in an see that my nicotine gum arrived in the mail lol. I ate dinner, watched a copd video that scared the crap out me to where i didn't even need to chew the gum lol an now im laying across bed watching tv... whew thank god i made it..

Great job. To win the war youve got t win the battles.

Nice job, Toni. See the consequences of that craving all the way to the end.

No regrets for you tomorrow toni. :) Fantastic!

Great job Tonib...
The clarity and vision that I felt when turning the car around on the way to the bottle shop compared to the despair I felt when I didn't is part of my recovery.

Yay Toni!! :)
Gave me a little giggle, too! So glad you're home safe and sound!
Oh...and I'm really proud of you, too!

Great job at resisting!!

Good job and thank you for telling us how you did it. Keep on! And I think it was brilliant having your kids start dinner so that it was ready. Nothing like a meal to take the edge off and you had something to look forward to.

That's awesome.

I remember a similar moment where I parked across the street on a weekend night across from one of my regular pubs. I sat in the car and enviously watched the people come and go. I thought it all through for what seemed like an eternity but probably was less than five minutes. I drove away shaking with longing, anger (why can't I!?) and anxiety but made it home sober. The craving passed within a half hour, and I certainly loved my decision the next day.

Well done, you.

Hooray! Way to do it!

Flexing those sobriety muscles!!!

Nice job!

:hug:

Well done Toni

It's just so good not to give in! I feel really privileged by my issue with alcohol as I appreciate things more and feel sorry for those who drink who wonder round in a permanent state of psychosis and tiredness! I saw my boss yesterday and so clear to see he is shattered by all the drinking he is doing every night ! I feel switched on and ready to go every morning! Sleep is now real sleep!

As Bunnez would say "You're too sober for this s**t".

Well done, honey :grouphug:
