Fighting the Urge Today

Stopped drinking Feb. 2025. Really fighting the urge today. It's hot and humid, the World Cup started, everyone is looking to go out and have a good time. I tried to go and kill time at a local sports card shop, but they're doing a watch party in the back for tonight's game and guys were already coming in with 12 packs. I made myself leave. I could taste it on the way out.

I know this is my problem and I can't fault people for going out and having a good time because they can control themselves. I can't stop at one, or three, or six.

I'm home now. No booze here. Going to buy a new video game I probably won't play past tonight and try to sleep by 10pm. Tomorrow is another day and I'm just focusing on how nice the sun will feel tomorrow morning.
