    I made it through my first social event!

    Last night friends came round for dinner. A scenario from the 'past' that would have had me half a bottle of wine down before they'd even arrived.

    I was a bit nervous to start, but I made sure I ate loads, I swerved any talk of 'are you drinking tonight?' by saying I might have a beer later.

    I had a couple of tonic waters with ice and I made it through happily, didn't feel in the slightest that I was missing out on anything. No-one noticed and I was so happy when I woke up :H

    I slipped up last time at 45 days AF because of a family bbq - I'm determined to make it to 60days AF (on Tuesday) and beyond.

    Love you MWO :h

      Great work Mrs. D. You've broken the ice! For me, this told me dopey brain that, 'see?.....you CAN do it G-boy' with just a bit of preperation, and determination. It's real easy for me these day's in those situation's, but, i still drive myself to and fro', and i alway's have an exit plan, whether at home, or elsewhere.

      Bravo friend, you're doing it!

          Thanks guys - I'd been really nervous about socialising as I'd messed up before and didn't know if I was 'ready' or not - so I've been feeling a little giddy about my success today :H

          Before that I thought I was heading to an island to grow a beard and talk to a football for the rest of my life!

            Well done Mrs D! As drinkers we think it's a bigger deal than everyone else but actually once the evenings underway people don't notice what you're drinking. I'm so glad you had a good time and I bet you felt SO great waking up clear headed today! Here's to your 60 days and to many many more AF :l

              Congratulations Mrs. D! Well done. Sounds like you had a good plan in advance, and then executed the plan. (easier said than done sometimes!) Bravo. :yougo:

                      Awesome!!! Well done, girl!!
                      Go before that fire there, at the altar of your heart
                      That fire of who you really are and be consumed by it fully
                      Surrender everything into the fire of that love until you are one with that love. You ARE that love.
