Day 80 #FuckYes (It's actually day 83 today.. but I didn't have time to post the last couple days 🤷♀️) #MomentOfTruth I was THIS 👌close to buying a bottle of wine the other day. I was driving home from class, and something triggered me that made my anxiety shoot through the roof. I ended up getting stuck in traffic on the highway, so I didnt make it back in time before the liquor store closed. It wasn't my will or determination that stopped me, it was bad timing. I'd hoped the cravings and/or feeling like I 'need' a drink would have stopped by now, but I guess drinking had become so ingrained in my being over the last 20 years or so, that NOT drinking is now abnormal and weird. I'm basically re-programming myself to not 'need' alcohol to function or work through my anxiety anymore. I did, however, make it through a dry-Thanksgiving 🇨🇦 this past weekend. I wasn't sure how I'd do. Normally I drink while I cook, and enjoy wine with dinner, but I had neither. I was tempted a couple times when the kids were going bat shit crazy after ingesting far too much sugar... but we kicked them out of the house and all was well again. • • • #ModernDating101 #SoberOctober #DryOctober #HealingJourney (at St. Catharines) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoyqyCIBcG6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1upfvfisvw0jn
