Big day for for me.

I started my journey last Wednesday but hit a bump in the road on Friday. I gave my wife my wallet to hold so that I couldn’t give in to temptation very easily. I made it through the weekend which was my first sober weekend in years. Last night we went food shopping and I forgot to give my wallet back to her. I work third shift and realized I had my wallet on my way to work. That thought consumed me all night long. Should I or shouldn’t I stop and get beer on my way harm. The excuses started creeping in my head. Excuses like “it’s her fault for not taking my wallet back”. I got in my car to drive home and still I’m consumed and full of anxiety. What to do? I got to the moment of truth .... turn right and get beer or go straight and go home. It took all my strength to make that decision but today,for the first time when fighting that decision, I went straight and went home. When I got home I gave my wife my wallet and the anxiety went away and a sense of relief came over me. I made it through another day. Today I am 5 days sober. I read a lot of posts here last night while struggling so thanks,once again, for helping me to a new milestone. Fighting off temptation.
