We decided to drive before I started this program because we enjoy the changing of the leaves and stopping along the way (at restaurants where I drink), staying over night at friends (where I drink); getting the picture!!! Now that I am on this new program, we thought it might be beter to fly -- it would be thousands of dollars more because of the last minute. So we are definitely driving. We are not staying with friends. We made excuses because I'm not ready to deal with that yet. And I have myself "psyched" to stop at Taco Bell for lunch so that I won't have an option to drink (I love those big taco salads in the bowl). And so, we'll be reaching the hotel just about cocktail/dinner time, which will be perfect. I hope!!!
But I have started packing and I usually drink while I'm packing. It is driving me nuts!! I realllllllllllly want a drink!!! It is Saturday, so I can have a drink during lunch!!! So in the meantime I thought I'd clean to keep my mind off of it; you know, organize stuff (love to do that). Well, guess what? Yep, you guessed it -- I realize that I drink while I'm organizing!!! Let's face it. Until I started this program, I drank while doing practically every mundaine activity. No wonder I enjoyed it so much!!!
So, I'm struggling. Thought I'd post it for several reasons. First, just talking about it helps me fight the urge. Secondly, maybe some of you who have been through this might have some ideas. Third, IF I am successful in getting through this travel prep day without breaking my drinking rules, then maybe it will help others. BIG IF THOUGH!!!!
Any thoughts, suggestions, comments, VERY WELCOME!!!!
