Victory from the jaws of defeat.

Last night after all of my ranting during the day I was still angry and agitated so I reached for the vodka bottle. I was angry with myself for failing even as I poured it. I measured out a 50ml drink with some coke drank half of it then poured the rest out. I could never have managed that before so my resolve must be getting stronger. I am also tempted to class it as a drink free day in the app that I am using but that would only be lying to myself and I have done enough of that over the years. So like I said in the title,

Victory from the jaws of defeat.

Happy Sunday everyone.
