Thank YOU! Thinking before drinking.

I'm on the road for work and got to my destination hotel rather late last night. The only place for dinner was a local brew pub/cafe and I was starved. People enjoying a brew, chatting it up. I used to brew beer, so I can appreciate a good one.

I ordered my food and a water and thought of you guys and all the struggles you've been through and all the sayings I read over and over (ie you have to want to be sober more than you want to drink, one is too many, a thousand is never enough, when is a good time to stop? now. when is a good time to start again? never. etc).
Then I thought about health problems. And the times I blacked out in places like this.
And I ate my dinner and went back to my hotel and to bed sober.

Good for you yinzer, that's a perfect example of how using your sobriety "tools" can work in a tough situation. Glad you were able to enjoy your dinner and a sober evening/morning.

My SR friends have silently carried me through a few situations as well.

Each of us has to walk the path for our self, but nobody has to do it alone.

Well done!
