Yesterday was the first day in about a month that the phenomenon of a craving hit me hard. I wanted to do anything to get outside of myself. Receiving criticism is a big trigger for me. On top of it, my ex that owes 5 figures in child support showed up for her visit with the kids in a new Lexus. Serenity prayer over and over again, a good meeting, and a nice talk with my sponsor helped so much. Grateful for all my blessings.

Good nod of working thru those feelings! For me, it’s super important to have people to vent to. I’m not a person who likes to share my feelings. I like to play Joe Cool 
, and pretend that nothing bothers me. I have found that this just leads to a slow build up of anger, frustrations, and resentments. Today I get that sh!t out of my head. I share it with my sponsor and/or friends in the program. Sounds like you worked your program of recovery yesterday. It makes unmanageable situations a little more manageable. Just enough acceptance to not drink over it.
