Day Sixty Three: Oh Chavelas

Chavelas used to be one of my favorite places to eat and drink. I was craving their beans and rice and Camarones alla Mexicana. However I wasn't ready to eat there yet. The call of the bar was too strong. I would drink pitchers of Sangria all by myself in the past, but now having 70 days clean I have to be aware of which battles I pick. I decided I could have the food as long as I picked it up instead of eating in the restaurant. My memories served me correctly, the food was excellent and I didn't put my self at risk. I am learning that I can make positive choices especially when I choose to continue to listen to my best self. I am learning to recognize what thoughts are the next best choice for me.
