I resisted drinking today

I had my first day of my masters program and it was so exciting! I loved my classes and I’m hopeful I’ll make friends. I got some groceries after class and realized then I had to carry it a 20 minute walk 😭 It was okay and I made it through and was excited about the calories I probably burned.

But it was 3 pm when I got back and I was exhausted and wanted to get my usual 3 shooters. I resisted in every way I could and I haven’t drank. And I didn’t. The cravings were SO bad for like a full hour, but subsided after awhile. I’m glad I didn’t give in. I’m still on day 4 and I’m proud of myself
