9 Days of Sobriety

Yesterday was my 8th day of not having a drink. I was tempted really bad to drink. Felt a little stressed out because my wife and I had a disagreement over something and we had not communicated well regarding some of our scheduled events.  I'm so happy I didn't drink. It made me realize that alcohol had become a coping mechanism for me to escape the stresses associated with being in a marriage. I don't mean stresses in a bad way, but most who are married understand that at times marriage can seem like a a war zone,lol.  
 Anyway, I'm celebrating the end of my 9th day without drinking. Feeling blessed and I'm going to take it one  day at time.
