Tough Day
 

My AV was crafty and persuasive today. I am snowed in and I have been restless. I am usually always on the go. I did a lot of reading today, I cooked some beans, I cleaned up the house. The roads are still bad, and I got stuck twice trying to get off my block. It looks like tomorrow will be another no go.

There is a convenience store a block away, and it is open. I could get a twelve pack and be back in less than ten minutes. I thought of all the great stuff I could do. I'd put on a movie, and drink my concerns away.

No. I wanted to. Badly. So badly. Being stuck here is very bad for me. Activity and being out and about is my biggest defense.

I got through the day. I ate a lot, which usually makes me stop thinking about drinking. I thought about downing a few sleeping pills, but I don't want to go down that road either.

The AV sneaks up when we least expect it. I wanted to get that beer so badly that it hurt. Even while I know good and well it would be catastrophic for me.

I'm off to bed to read a few more chapters, and then it is off to dreamland. Thanks for listening.

Good job on getting through that. Sounds like a tough day.

Good job putting your AV on the page crush it any oppurtunity you hear it by coming on here

You done really good not drinking livinginhope

Good for you for knowing that your AV is trying to get you. You can get through this and remain sober. Being stuck inside is a nuisance, but hopefully you can find some things to do this evening and tomorrow. :)

I wish I could help you people out east, we haven't had much snow here in the Midwest.Good job on staying away from alcohol, I have the same situation here,bars & mini marts within a short walk from my home.We gotta stay tough!

Congratulations on making it through the day without drinking. Eating a little extra is better than drinking....think lots of us have been doing it this winter !
