More fragile than I thought

I'm on day 35 of not drinking, and have been feeling pretty good, and pretty thankful for my sobriety. Anyway, was just at a work event, with a brewery tour planned later tonight. I said no thanks to the brewery tour, but when I got out of the event there was a reception with some light snacks and unexpectedly there was a cash bar, with spirits and beer. I found myself very very tempted, and realized my sobriety is much more fragile than I thought. But I felt a profound sense of relief when they packed the bar up and left early (must have been on the clock). A wake-up call, and a victory that came very narrowly for me. IWNDWYT
