Great job Fradley!!
I was just on a work trip myself and it was tough. Had dinner out with two colleagues, they probably had 3 or 4 beers each with dinner while I had sparkling water and was itching to go home most of the time. Someone even commented that I was "pounding down my drinks", and I'm still not even sure if they were kidding or didn't realize I just had sparkling water and not a "real" drink. Kinda got me thinking though...when I was drinking I thought no one really noticed that I really was having twice as much as the guys I was with despite being a petite woman, but now I'm thinking that I guess people maybe did notice. Oh well...glad its behind me.
Congrats on 38 days!

Great work.
I've learned that a relapse starts first in my thoughts, but I don't have to act on them. Recognizing when that is happening was a turning point in my recovery.
Good news - those urges do lessen over time as long as you don't pick up.

Cravings (like emotions) can move in like a bad weather front. The move in...and they move out. Today is one of those day you just gotta get on through. Just get through the day..sober. Your perspective and feeling will be completely different tomorrow. Nothing is static. Everything..especially moods...change.
