Day 10. Fairly strong urge to buy a bottle tonight.

Stay strong. Play the tape forward, what would happen? Would you be satisfied with a buzz? Would the buzz in fact make you crave more? If you drink beyond a buzz, would the chance of embarrassing or dangerous things happening increase? Be honest with yourself.

Hi Brian, thanks for the offer, Iāll definitely take you up on it. I am finding it easier to identify my anxiety behaviours now. Iām glad I am putting in the work.
I am down on the south coast (aka Costa del Hampshire) so a little bit too far for a round trip!
The sight of those beads made me cry. Thinking of your family with love.

Keep going everyone.

Hey Matt 
Iām ok. Itās super rainy, and wet and cold. I canāt do all of the outdoorsy stuff that normally makes me feel better and helps with my sobriety. So Iāve been feeling a bit stir crazy. Hence the three books, two paintings, one crochet rug and piano lessons all on the go.
Itās all helping, I love having lots of creative outlets. But yes, Iāve been in a bit of a state of unrest/unease.
How are you going Matt? I hope things have been easier for you x

Youāll feel so much better tomorrow if you stay strong tonight and get some rest instead of buying that bottle. You can do it.

Iām doing ok. Opening my business is taking me through a lot of intense emotional territory and I am working on finding healthy pressure releases for stress.
Did you know having fun is an outlet for stress? You probably did - but for me this is a new learning 
It might sound strange but I am learning how to have fun and be spontaneous 
Inserting little moments of fun in my day

That why I turned vegetarian. Lovely creatures, I thought well why do I eat them?

When the pain becomes greater than the solution. We will always seek the easier softer way. Every one has different rock bottoms. But solution is right there in front of us. All we have to have have is the willingness to pick up the kit of spiritual tools that are laid at our feet. There is an old expression. You can lead a horse to water but you canāt make him drink it. He has to willing to do that on his own. It must come from within us and a higher power makes that possible.

Feeling good but a little apprehensive about all the work I owe. Also about how well things are going. Paranoid that a trigger will happen or a just 1 craving opportunity. Letās take it 1 hour at a time!
