Dry through a difficult day

I’ve had some tough few days and today I’ve been struggling with the after effects of my nervous system going totally haywire. I’ve been trying to manage it but it’s been up and down regardless. I found myself craving beer so badly just out of nowhere. I’ve learned to actually listen to what my cravings are saying to me, and it usually isn’t that I want a beer. It’s just the knee-jerk to ignoring it all. I drove the 20 miles into town just to buy club soda to kick the craving and there was no club soda in the store. 😭😭😭

So, I left and I walked in the liquor store….and walked out with 0.0% NA beer. I know some people don’t agree with NA beer but it was a win for me to get through this day, be able to walk in a liquor store, keep the “why” in mind, and stay focused on the big picture.

My nervous system is still kinda chaotic but even if it sucks…I get the satisfaction of marking off another day dry. 💪🏽
