Today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

[abcowboy]

I agree with your quote today [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION], buuuuut, what about your head hitting the pillow at night clean and sober lol. Either way you look at it, there is no better feeling than 24 hours of sobriety!

There are definitely tougher times/seasons to just say "no thanks, I don't drink" and in that moment we might feel sad for ourselves. But that feeling only lasts as long as you let it. Then, you feel a sense of accomplishment, feel some pride that no matter the 5 w's, you can say "no thanks, I don't drink" and walk away knowing that alcohol can't control you if you don't let it...

Thanks for another excellent quote, [MENTION=24196]Rava[/MENTION]. I couldn't agree more!

Cowboy, your comments prompted me to think. I long ago let go of 'social drinking', like drinking in group settings and at holidays, weddings, funerals. Those used to be big drinking times for me, but as my self control went out the window I quit drinking in public settings as I had fear of making a fool of myself. I think I may have done just that on the last time or two that I drank at an event with some non-drinking friends. Of course, I don't actually recall, but the reactions I had from friends the next day gave me a big clue. So, I was done drinking. Socially that is. Saying no to drinks at social gatherings was actually a relief and a no-brainer and I preferred it. But then I began to withdraw socially. I chose to be a homebody and drink in isolation. I didn't want to forego my drinking time for social occasions. I was sad for myself the day I realized I shouldn't even drink at home anymore and that the drinking was affecting my physical and mental health as well as my relationship with my hb.

24 more hours, please and thank you.

Another 24 hours please & thank you.

I got home late yesterday afternoon, just as the snow started to fall. There was about 3 inches this morning.

The chaos at my son’s house was what I expected, and hoped for. The grandkids had a great time!

I laughed this morning when I heard an ad on radio for a liquor store that was having a New Year’s Eve sale. I thought, there’s probably a lot of people who are dealing with a nasty hangover this morning only to learn they can save money for their next drunk! Oh yeah, the ad finished with “Please drink responsibly”!

Hope everyone enjoys their day, af!

Yesterday was beautiful, bright sunshine, and a high of 45F. Got out on a bike ride with Mrs V, felt great. Would not have done that hungover!
Nope, not staying stagnant here.

It was a good day for a bike ride yesterday, [MENTION=17632]Mr Vervill[/MENTION]! Glad you were not hungover. I can't imagine trying to ride a bike with a hangover! LOL! I can honestly say that is one thing I have never done hungover.

24 more glorious hours of freedom please!
