Yesterday was incredibly stressful for me at work. A coworker is trying undermine me behind my back. Normally I would have gotten drunk as soon as I got home. Nope! Did not have a drop of alcohol and made sure I didn’t go to the convenience store to get wine like I’m used to doing when upset.

Well done! And I agree, small victories matter a lot. That’s how we build our sober muscles, bit by bit.

Well done! You did great!
Unfortunately, backstabbing behavior is common in some workplaces. My last one was that way. Good on you for not running to alcohol over something you can’t control = other people’s bad behavior.
I hope the situation improves. More importantly, you stayed sober! It’s a great feeling to break those associations, that automatic self-destructive impulse.

Proud of you my friend. Navigating stressors is a very tough skill to learn on sober legs

I’m really sorry to hear that you had such a tough day at work. It’s fantastic that you managed to avoid drinking and didn’t let the stress push you into old habits. That’s a huge achievement and shows a lot of strength. Keep it up!

honestly, that is huge. i wait all week to go out Sunday night most weeks, and it always ends the same way: waking up feeling gross, broke, and not any better about my situation. 
it takes a lot sometimes to just breathe and realize, i don’t have to self destruct because of the actions of others – we deserve better than that.
