What a Day 4!!! Ugh!
My son is in the U.S. Army and was told this morning he may have to deploy to Iraq this summer. I was a basket case. Then about 4 hours he called to tell me that his unit will not be going.
Then on the way home my car died on the freeway. I knew I needed gas but I did not think it was that low. I was low on oil though and my check engine light came on. I was freaking out something was wrong with the engine. So road side assistance gets me some gas, and the car starts again. I pull away and then it died again. I’m thinking my engine is blown.
Turns out the road side guy Just didn’t put enough gas in.
Then my wife sends me to a Mexican restaurant to get take out. And I have to wait in the bar where I used to get Margaritas. Temptation is an understatement. A margarita would normally have been awesome.
But, I am sitting here drinking Sprite. I’ll get some cardio later. Another sober day in the books!

Wow. Great job! I know one of my tools is to not go into the places I would frequent for a long time. I am amazed by your will power. I don’t think i would drink either, but definitely not wanting to have that level of temptation. Great job!!! I hope when I do get there I can have that same strength of will you have.

Horn - firstly, thank you and your son for his service. I very much mean that.
Excellent work yesterday. I think it's important to focus on the sober muscles you built getting through that and making the right moves. Rather than think about how you were tempted/what you would have done in the past - the truth is that you did right by your Self and your family.
Great stuff. Thanks for posting.
