Every one has that one thing or maybe more than one for some that upsets them in recovery you being aware of what I would say you struggle with is actually your new beginning you know this about yourself change your plans for that day or have someone with you that is there for you and your recovery you are doing great

Tomorrow is a mystery. Don't worry about it. Tomorrow has its own problems. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
All you have is today.

Idk if this works for everybody but try listing out some things you'd like to do with that spare money that you don't use for substance. Plan something for this pay check and the next, in a month, and in a year. Alphabetically if you're obsessing or feeling out of control. When we can accept that we have a future and there good things ahead of us that can be pivotal.
I hear you on that, I still have certain hours of everyday that are a struggle especially after work 5 pm sit on lanai and drink till I pass out, today I attended meeting at that time, morning on way to work and meeting on way home from work. In Hawaii it takes 3 different groups to accomplish that as most aren’t everyday of the week so I attend 3 groups and 13 meetings per week and 1 evening with my sponsor. So far it’s kept this drunk sober 271 days a god willing I have another great day tomorrow. Remember regardless of what life throws our way, it’s always a great day and a win when we end the day sober

You’re choosing to gain, not lose. Take it one step at a time, tomorrow’s a new day to make a better choice. You’ve got this. Let me know how it goes! 
Yes I did do that and had stayed busy today bought some shoes for work and also went out for dinner tonight . Awarding myself is a very good feeling. Thank you
