Glad to hear you didn't turn one bad decision into many that certainly happens to quite a few folks who "go back out" as they say. Last night I had quite a few thoughts about drinking creep into my mind made the final table of a $10 10kG NL on bovada and going deep in MTT's always seems to radically alter my mood. Out in 8th for $200, 1st was 2k
Going to the strip club, bar or package store certainly seemed like an attractive option especially since I could in theory keep it to myself. The reality is probably I'd feel overwhelmed by the decision the next day and either continue drinking in an escalating fashion or break down and confess to someone and pray that it stops.
I don't want to be separated from humanity anymore because of my drinking, it's a huge waste. Maybe this episode will help you and the GF turn a corner and support each other in abstaining from alcohol.
I'm not really active in AA at the moment but much of what I've learned from my time there comes to the front of my mind when thoughts of drinking arise and so far (6 months) it has been enough to keep me from that first drink.
Enjoyed the song, really liked the line at 1:15 "Liven up honey, it ain't that bad" keep that in mind IG!
