A Narrow Escape

I've been sober for eight months and three days today. Three days ago, I once again felt the obsession to drink. I thought about prayer and dismissed it. I just wanted to take some time off from being a recovered alcoholic. Guilty feelings and feelings of resentment for my work life had only made things worse. I just felt like quitting. I canceled an appointment because it was raining too hard, fixed things so I wouldn't be needed at work, and took off for Henderson, Kentucky. I made three or four decisions to drink and then to not drink.
