Checking in daily to maintain focus #28

Day 314. I went to pick up food from a restaurant this evening but the food wasn’t ready. So the hostess asked me to wait at the bar. Bad idea. I was so close to ordering a drink. But I didn’t, and I can’t even really tell you why. I need to go back to working the steps. I’m becoming too complacent.

Ooh, I can imagine! The sounds, sights, etc, of a bar really make u romanticize drinking. At least in the early evening (I’m guessing early because picking up food) before the fighting, leching and puking start. But u did manage it! And u noticed that maybe there are things u need to do more of. It is a win.

At this point? I’m starting to think normies are hanging around the outside of our little gated community, a little jealous of all we’ve got going on here! :laughing:

Seriously though, and as @Singtone and @RosaCanDo were commenting too, the kind of support and understanding and acceptance around here sure grows on a person…

Yer amazing, Danni. Every one of your posts gives me more to go on. :orange_heart:

I’m glad to hear you didn’t order one. That was a smart choice. You’ll be so happy when you wake in the morning that you chose not to. :blush:
