Almost 4 months

Hi everyone - haven't been on in a while, but doing well. I'm actually signed on at work because I am sitting here thinking how a glass of wine would be awesome tonight and thought to log on and get my head straight for the evening. I know full well that one glass of wine would lead to a full bottle, so I know I will make the right choice, but needed an extra bit of help before heading home!

Good for you posting, I'm still new here. But know that one glass for me will mean the bottle as well. Congrats on you 4 mos. Remember how you made it this far and how good it's been.

Good of you to realize that romancing the idea of a drink is not a good place for your head to be.

Think of something else, like ice cream!

It's important to be able to get through those moments and it sounds like you did splendidly. Congratulations on 4 months of recovery.

Thank you everyone - I know I don't post a lot and probably don't offer up as much support as other members, but I appreciate you all reaching out to me. Drank an ice cold Pepsi when I got home and the urge passed quickly. It is interesting how at different times, you need different things to get through. And how a random trigger at work can set your mind going in the wrong direction , in an instant! Thank you again
