Got done early today which was not good as then the witching hour comes sooner and becomes that much more difficult to remain alcohol free.
And on my way home I had to chant in my head "I am in control, I am in control" and so one for half the ride home.,,,then almost went to Fat Pats for a couple of beers just down the street from my house. Almost.
I remembered this acronym: Halt, Was I hungry, angry, lonely or tired?
So I sat on this for a while and decided that I was hungry.
Then as soon as I got home I reheated some left overs for an early dinner.
Pasta/sausage and some lentil/rice that I picked up at sandras.
I also drank a cream soda which I love..
Had too much to eat, then I had a fudge bar and reevaluated how I felt.
Well, I was tired, kept falling asleep at the computer so decided to lay down and take a nap.
In the mean time Jeff has gone to a dinner meeting.
There is beer in the fridge that I love.
I just woke up from an hour and a half nap ... I had gotten up early at 6:30 am to do paper work that I did not get done last night.
Importantly, I remained alcohol free.
Was going to go to the gym but it is too late.
Saw 4 clients today, had lunch with an acquaintance, Bill.
I would say this was a successful day.
