Good morning all.
Just popped in to say there have been many of you who have messaged me with either well-wishes or seeking advice/reassurance with their own struggles. Thank you for the continued support and to those who wonder about themselves - now is the best time to quit. You're never alone.
On Saturday a friend was getting married and I had to go to the store and buy some alcohol as there was a mix up at the reception hall. It was the first time I had stepped foot into such a place in over a year. When I saw all the bottles and pretty layouts and great advertising I wanted to drink right then and there. I remembered what a neat experience it was to go and buy the coolest bottles and most rare whiskey I could find. It brought back many good memories.
Needless to say, I bought what I came for and delivered it as promised. I did not drink at the reception but found this out about myself: it is easier to avoid temptation in the first place than put myself in a compromising situation. Even though it's been a great 16 months I still wonder if I made the right choice; surely I can drink a bit here and there and be fine, right? Going to the liquor store gave me those thoughts so I think it's best if I continue to avoid it.
