VigilanceNow

I don't want to drink. It is a beautiful morning and the fact that I'm even thinking about it seems ridiculous. I'm usually strong and self aware and I know my triggers etc. But honestly I guess my AV is screaming at me to not do my morning yoga and drink instead.

I thought ok, not today. Coming here. Reading the incredible strength that exists here and will draw from it.

You can definitely do this! I often have binary thinking that if I don't want to do something healthy then I need to revert to unhealthy. I'm not sure if this is your case, but maybe skip morning yoga and treat yourself to a big stack of pancakes (or something).

The other thought is that the beauty of my mornings is greatly enhanced when I am sober.

I often find when my mind screams at me to do something positive and I want to resist- it is best just to do it. Good for posting. Keep posting- lots..it helps. Support to you.

How are you doing? Make it to yoga?

It may be a beautiful morning to drink, but think how ugly tomorrow will be if you drink today. Look back at your first post and remember the relapse that brought you to SR in the first place.

Coming here to talk it through is a great idea. Think about the consequences of your actions too if you were to drink - the shame, the hangover, or who knows what else will come. It's not ridiculous, it's addiction - and recognizing it is quite important.

I'm glad you came here and posted and I hope that you will get through this.

When I get that voice in my head it helps me to remember how crappy it is when I drink. It's not fun for me anymore. I hope you're doing well and enjoying a nice day sober!
