    New Day has had a break-through!

    It's not much compared to what most have you have been able to go through lately ...... you're all doing so well staying AF and racking up those numbers...... but I had to tell you how elated I am at having hosted a huge party tonight and stayed AF for most of it. It lasted for over 8 hours and for the first 6 I didn't have any AL. My SIL was the first to notice I wasn't drinking and really made a point of it. It was funny, because the more she said I needed to switch to AL, the more I didn't want to. I really just wanted to get all the food out and then put away while sober. I think I understand know why I dreaded hosting these parties before .... it's such an effort pulling it off when you've had too much to drink! So tonight was fun and worth all the effort I put into it.

    Yes, I sucumbed at the end, but not to the extent I would have prior to MWO! So, rather than a baby step, tonight was a HUGE step for me. Little by little, I'm learning and appreciating how to be AF.:l

                  Thank you all --- yes, it was a revelation to me .... however, I'll be even happier the next time when I can go through the whole thing AF. Not even sure why I gave into my SIL, except after 6 hours of being hostess to so many, I was very tired.

                  Going into the city in a little while for dinner and live theatre ... taking my girls to see "Sound of Music" .... so will be AF today. I plan on having tomatoe juice with dinner tonight. (taking the advice of others here, and pre-planning my response to "what can I get you to drink?").

                  Have a great day everyone!
