Enjoy the simple things
Last night was my partners 50th. We didn't do much, as the party is on Saturday, and yet I had a drink. Just a small one, but a drink none the less. I hadn't even felt like one till 10 minutes prior. Needless to say, I didn't let my partner know. it would likely stress her out.
Where do these absurd cravings come from? Seemingly from nowhere- wham - and I'm drinking.
Historically, for me, alcohol simply created an appetite for more alcohol. My brain/body would get upset when I didn't feed it, and then would feel relieved when I did pick up a drink. That feeling of 'relief' is one the great illusions of alcohol. At least for me.
Thankfully it all passed quickly. If nothing else, it makes me more tolerant of others. More compassionate. More open to the flaws and stumbling stones we all possess.
I tell ya, one never stops learning. No matter how many lessons life teaches me, I always have so much more to learn. Phew. Back to one day at a time.
