Two Cans And A Fridge

The triggers are lessening

Hello my friends, yesterday I was playing basketball again. Playing on the same cord where the drinking on my birthday began. A friend of mine asked, if I could put his beer in my backpack. I did so, we proceeded with our gathering and had a little fun.

When I came home, I opened my backpack and there were two cans in it. We totally forgot about them.

Exclusive footage from my fridge.

Look at this innocent two little cans. Don’t they look inviting? I have to admit they do a little bit. Still, I don’t feel the need to drink them, because I know what might happen. Being able to resign without pain or willpower, made me feel cool like the air in the fridge. That would never have been possible in my drinking times. The certainty that I have beer, would have been present all the time. I would make plans in my head when to drink them.

After 6pm, after 8pm or I just said bollocks to that I am drinking now. Sometimes I just drank two, but sometimes that would be a start for a lot more.

I am curious how long it will take till my girlfriend will feel the need to “reward” herself. I will wait here, with my sober eyes wide open and comment on her drinking. Because that is what I do these days.

Jokes aside. That was a great little moment in my sobriety. Wishing you all a nice evening.
