Thank you both my Canuck friend and Mr. Mario.
Woke up with a smile on my face and excited for the future! Now that's not been a common occurrence for many years. I am fast forming a friendship and business alliance with an incredible woman who is incredibly like minded and has braved many similar situations. At 16 she fled Israel as a dodger not willing to pick up a machine gun and kill to give an idea of her fortitude. She does not like the taste of alcohol and does not drink. Interesting that she mentions she has offended people in social situations for declining a social drink. Even a life long non drinker has been made uncomfortable by the culture of alcohol. Anyways, I did not drink yesterday!

Thanks, RC! I'm still working on 7 days, though. Today is day four. When I first started posting, I said I would never drink again, and then slipped up. Next, I joined a couple of 30 day AF threads, and again could not make the full 30 days. That left me feeling like I had failed, and yet on the other hand my overall drinking has gone from a bottle or more of wine every single day, to the same amount, but maybe two or three times a week. For me, that's progress after 20 years of daily drinking.

So, my goal now is for 7 days, which I will have accomplished by Sunday morning. I have every intention of extending that streak, though. I'm not the same person I was when I first logged on to MWO. I know deep in my heart that I am going to make it, and that I have all the tools I need. I just need to do my part, and never allow myself that first sip.

Hey--still good job Irie! I misread your post. Here's a link to a thread I started in May and gives you some understanding of where I've been and where I would still like to be. Some might say I have a thick head.:H I am abstaining with a real live friend until our Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Then I go from there with my journey. If I can encourage you along the way, I will.
