Today threw me a monkey wrench.

I’ve been on a good streak of very limited alcohol and it’s been going pretty easy! Today I wanted to drink.

I was by where I could have bought some and nobody would have known as I was by myself. I asked myself “Why do I want to drink today?” I literally had not one solid reason. Then I asked myself “Why don’t I want to drink today?” That list was long.

The feeling went away and I drove home without alcohol and feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment currently.

Just thought I’d share a quick post that asking myself these questions really helped me today. Maybe they could help someone else out….
