I've not been in a very good recovery place lately. While I love my new job it's really disrupted a lot of my routines and I'm finding it hard to get back into the swing of things after being off work for so many months. So I've been thinking about drinking - not in a craving sense, but more in a I really wish I could drink kind of way, which I know is the start of a dangerous slippery slope for me. Anyway I was talking with my sponsor today and talkign about how hard I was finding getting back into the routine of working and making time for anything else. And she says out of the blue, remember it's not worth drinking over, because if you drink you'll die or wind up in the hospital again. Not what I wanted to hear, but definitely what I needed to hear as a reminder of how bad my drinking had got.

On a happier note. Today is 5 months since my last drink.
