I didn't have that nagging voice in the back of my mind saying "Work day is done, time to start drinking." on my way home today. But I still stopped and picked up four airplane bottles.
I think I have found one of my true triggers, WORK. I can't quit my job, I'm good at it and for the majority of the time like it. But, I can, and should, quit drinking. Something that is a complete opposite. It cost me money, a lot after a DUI. Time, well any good ones are typically forgotten and I'm left with the repercussions the following day.

I’m so sorry to hear your struggle. I totally get it though. I would finish work and that would be the first thing on my mind. “Time to unwind” and that was my excuse. I can’t even say one that actually helped me to officially stop. I just knew it was time. I truly wish you the best and hope you find that one thing or many things that helps you know you can do this, no matter how hard.

I've recently gone 86 days sober, haven't done that since the 90s. Over a month ago, I gave in.
