You can in fact keep your s*** together. If you can't, then go IP.

That's great on getting a guy's number! You don't have to do anything immediately; or at all. Spend a few days thinking about if you're even interested in getting to know him more; if it's just a booty call sort of thing then really think about if you'd want that or if it would just hurt you.

Wallowing and freting are why you need HEALTHY distractions. Drinking doesn't help; it just makes the worries worse. Which you are smart enough to know, so you're either choosing to torture yourself or you do indeed have an alcohol addiction that needs help.

Why not take the alcohol money and put it towards other things - healthier food, some new clothes, a book, whatever floats your boat that isn't destructive. Or just bank it to save up for something larger.

oh! Ij ust thought of an idea to make it easier to recount things for your LC when she's back. Why not keep yourself a log for every day where you record your healthy/positive choices on one side, and the unhealthy ones on the other - you could write down reasons for why they occurred if you wanted. It'll help you see how the overall picture is instead of just whatever sticks out in your memory in hindsight.
