I'm definitely BU - please tell me not to order a drink

[Hiphopopotamus]

So I'm an alcoholic. I was doing well but have had a pretty massive relapse in the last few months. I'm back on the wagon now and I'm nearly 2 weeks sober.

I'm currently sitting in a restaurant waiting for my partner to finish work. Restaurants alone are a big trigger place for me as they are places I used to drink a lot - I never felt comfortable in pubs alone but it felt acceptable if I had a plate of food in front of me. I'm sitting here with a Diet Coke when all I want to do is order a bottle of wine and get stuck in. Please tell me how unreasonable I'm being.

Congratulations! Just remember if the temptation comes again, and there is no one in RL to help, you have an army of MNetters behind you

I've just read the rest of these responses and they've made me well up! Thanks all of you - it really means a lot to know there were so many people behind me with this.
