Fatboyanon, the action of dumping it is so good...it is like a personal intervention, personal accountability. It develops character and power over the AV.
Just because you bought it does not mean you need to drink it,
Just because you walk into a bottle shop does not mean you have to buy anything, just because you are driving to a bottle shop does not mean you can not turn around and change your thinking.
Congratulations on dumping it, it is wonderful.

If we know that something is not good for us, it's a terrible idea to stare at it.

I used to stare at liquor in the stores until my sponsor said to, not entertain the thought.

Glad you got rid of it. 27 days sober is great. Almost a month. I'm glad you didn't throw it away.

I'm glad you dumped it fatboyanon

Maybe this is a good time to work out healthy ways of dealing with ongoing cravings and things piling up?

A bottle is just a bottle.

You dumped it.

Now you know! Risky business, but a renewed commitment.

Particularly impressed that you reached out for additional strength from your vast team. Exactly how we're supposed to, when we need just that extra little bit!

Sleep tight, and enjoy the weekend. You won.

I think you are amazing to dump the bottle. That would have have taken so much courage and strength. Well done...
I'm almost at the same amount of days as you... let's keep going- We have almost 1 month behind us now x

Another voice to tell you great job!! We can get ourselves in really risky situations so easily. You got yourself out this time. Well done.

Like Dee said....what are you thinking when you wake up sober this Sat and have a new day, and going forward? Have you started a program? I'm an AA-er so I'd tell you now is a great time for a meeting if you haven't been. From a practical standpoint- I'd share that I didn't put myself in ANY risky situations at first- not even going to the grocery store alone!!! Nothing is too small if it could put us in danger of drinking - what can you choose to NOT do right now?

You can do this. Keep going, just today!

Isn't that the truth, hang onto this feeling, it could help with the next temptation! Waking up without a hangover never gets old or tired.
Congratulations on 4 weeks, it is wonderful. : )

Glad you dumped the booze out. Every time you beat down a craving, you get a little bit stronger.
