Keep on Track

Yesterday I went to the grocery store as I normally do on Sundays, and had one of those "make it or break it" moments. Going up and down the aisles looking for the normal stuff, I had to get a frozen pizza and turned down the aisle. In that moment, I realized where I was, the beer aisle.
Right next to the frozen pizza I needed was the one thing I didn't need in the grocery store, but wanted more than anything that I had in my cart. It made me realize how tough this road was that I started over a week ago.
Luckily, I have a great amount of perseverance, and will stick to my guns on this. I guess writing about alcoholism and everyday life helps me out. I also have a great son to think about, which helps my chances and my outlook on things. I have also looked into looked into help, and am starting A.A. meetings this week.
I will be attending counseling, which my insurance seems to cover most of it, but I need to look into more. My overall idea is to get as much help as I can, but when it really boils down to it, it is still all up to me. I made the choice to get started, and I made the choice to continue. Now, it is my choice to stop, I did it before for a while, but this time I mean to not cave in. It is a long hard road to keep on, but with support, and perseverance, I'm sure I can stay the course.
