First of all - thanks to all the lovelies who posted. I really appreciate it...

To answer a few questions.
I had to go - I was donating and part of the entire thing...well, the boyfriend was more then anything and really needed my support.
And I couldn't drive...as I don't know how to (lol. I am working on it!).

Well guys...there was a lot of booze there...they kept throwing bottles down on the table like it was their business...well it was, they were waiters, lol...but white wine, red wine, white wine spritzers...ugh...my choice of drink.

I didn't drink.
I am back at home, in my bed, sober.

So thank you all for rooting for me.

Big hugs to you all!!! :l :l :l :l


Scottish and Mama - you two are too funny.

Awesome job Bri!!

Willpower is an awesome thing when you use it for the right thing. Remember there are no reasons to drink, only excuses.

YOU DID IT!!! Now keep on taken that positive daily action. Cherish your sober morning, thinking about how great you feel and how crappy anyone who drank last night feels.

I see great changes in your future!

I am so glad that you did great, Bri! You should be very proud and I probably should have had more faith. But You were just so distressed a few short days ago I was worried... I am a worry wart. I truly am. My kids call me an ol hen.. Got it from my mom I think.

Anyway, Supercrew is right that you truly used your willpower this eveing because it this was something you really wanted : You are stronger than you know and braver than you believe ! I think Winnie the Pooh said that ?

roud:
Sleep well

Thanks everyone! )
I wish the boyfriend did notice but didn't because he wasn't drinking and thought probably that he was in control of the situation if that makes sense.

I am proud of myself and I know I told myself that I would only stick to drinking (some) on Saturdays and am now backtracking and don't particularly want to at all.
My real test is today.
Friends are coming over in a couple hours. Beer and wine has been dropped off already and we are supposed to BBQ and such. This was planned long in advance (my idea) and can't back out now.
So another dilemma I am faced with.
Big soccer match today.

Another temptation.
It's a gorgeous day and the air is buzzing with excitement.

This is going to be a tough one. Wish me luck!!


Gahh! One day at a time right?!!

I am so worried that if I fail y'all will be pissed at me!
But at the end of the day I can't lie and have to be honest. So I will take it hour by hour and keep u posted.

The problem with addiction is at some point you think you got it licked and that you can drink like a "normal person" (whatever that is).

Crazy how the mind fights with you at times.
Like with any craving. Chocolate or other.

I do understand what all those people go through that still actively use daily.
It's really a struggle in the beginning and I'm only on day 5!

I am working on it Mama.
It's already started and it's hard. Probably because I am in my "domain". My old watering hole. Aka my living room and backyard.

I am doing it so far.
1 hour down. 12 or so more to go.

Like I said. I know I told myself I'd only drink on Saturdays but being sober is a great feeling.
I guess that voice is trying to convince me that I will have more "fun".

I'll keep checking back.
I am just worried that if I do end up having one that my threads are pointless about the sober time that I have thus far accumulated. Way more sober time then drunk the past two months which is HUGE for me. Someone who drank every night and couldn't imagine a life without booze.

I'm gunna keep on keeping on.

Just want to say as well - doing these sorts of things early in sobriety isn't a good idea.
Because I can't get away and all I keep hearing is "it's okay! A couple won't do anything".

I hate addiction. (

I understand completely Bri. I was thinking of having a few yesterday and I thought, what about all that judgemental shit you've been saying on MWO, lol. What good would be being so smug do you NOW? Regardless of what you do today, Bri, we all know that you are trying and that you have the courage to quit. Hang tough Sweetie!:l
