Do shit days at work lead to drink?

[musomatt]

I had a shit day yesterday. I mean work wise. It did not help the fact that I was only on day 2!

The good news is that I have just finished a steak and a non alcoholic lager tonight. I decided I have to confront alcohol at every door, and so have opted NOT to avoid hotel restaurants etc.

Despite my truly shit day (when I received some pretty shit news on an account), it did not trigger me to want to drink. In fact, it made me go to the gym in the hotel and batter the treadmill to fuck for 40 minutes. I ran like a headcase and felt amazing afterwards as a result:goodjob:

However, had ZERO energy all through today. But that said, it is a very different proposition, waking up knowing you will not feel like shit all day. I'd take a bit of tiredness anyday over the hangover feeling.

So I pose the question. Why have shit days at work triggered me to drink in the past, yet this time, It was the opposite? Day 3 today everybody... Tomorrow is day 4!:wings:

I think that might be the biggest lie we must uncover. No circumstance can make us drink but any circumstance can force us to be stronger! Which is exactly what you did...GREAT JOB!!!

Well done the pair of you - you are both brilliant!

In answer to the OP question - yes it can

But only if you let it

You are strong and can beat the urge.

Once again - well done on a superb effort

Well done Matt and Gettingitright! Anything can trigger drinking, but only if you let it. The treadmill is a great destresser! :goodjob:

That's very true. If you want to drink, you make up an excuse. I think its keeping sight of what you are trying to achieve and knowing you make those excuses to yourself.

I can only speak for me but I found bad days, good days, happy times, sad times and basically any time I was awake was a reason to drink.
