Hi All, Have had a rough evening, settling down to write my chapter, and guess what managed to spill tea on my lap top, instead of leaving it alone, I turned it off and now its screwed, its not turning on. My first instinct was to drink, my next was to check what back ups I have and make the best of it, trusting in HP, my backups are not perfect but then neither am I, am going to make a stab at this chapter now, I had written a lot of notes in longhand during the week, I dont know why, just got tired at being at the computer, thanking my HP now though, got a base to work from. Have installed my new printer on the notebook, managed to back up the notebook, and now am just going for it, 10,000 words for Monday, dealing with crisis without drinking, far better,
ljc-- This phrase jumped out at me: My first instinct was to drink.
That was always my first instinct, even in recovery. BTGOG, that instinct is gradually fading and being replaced by the Serenity Prayer. Thank you for the reminder.
There is no situation so bad that it cannot be made worse by simply adding alcohol.
