Sitting at a bar...

I have almost 4 years sober. I am sitting at a bar, in a hotel, in a city where I am for work. I could drink. If I did I know it would start out innocent. But then I remember where that ends up. Me. Losing. Everything. I sign my check for my food and say thank you to the bartender. Smile that I am able to now play the tape through. Head up to my room with my food and snuggle down for a movie. But for the grace of God... There I go.

I'm always glad to hear from you Saliena and glad you're doing ok.
I always find bars really sad now - hope they had good food

Thanks everyone. I know I don't post on here often. But I do come back and read particularly this board reminds me of where I come from.

Congrats on nearly 4 years of a new beginning Saliena. Great choice as well.
