Me-12 The Beast-0
Hey, everyone! Sounds like we are doing great.
Greeneyes--4 AM on the couch and sober--great!
Bridge--loved the store story--our drugstores sell beer, wine AND spirits--hard to get by that aisle!
Witchy--25 days is great, congratulations!
Savon, Sea, 1more, Becoming--I agree. keeping busy, exercising, moderation if you can. Way to go.
Uni--I can relate to being sick--my head is ready to explode! Has been off and on for over a week and in full force since last night.
Okay, I promised the update on how I made it through the wedding. DID NOT TAKE EVEN A SIP OF CHAMPAGNE!!!!
I am actually pretty proud of myself. I had already talked to several of my friends about not drinking, so they were supportive. I followed everyone's MWO advice--the bride wouldn't know, the wedding would not be affected, the champagne is probably cheap and warm. I did as instructed and ate a lot and danced almost every dance. Gulped tons of water, table hopped, socialized, and stayed away from the bar--God, who doesn't love an open bar?
Only one tough moment--an acquainance brought me a big glass of wine and came to our table to visit. I just hopped up and said let's dance, I love this song. So I managed to avoid any questions. Before I knew it, the wedding was over and we said our good-byes. Wouldn't you know it?
:damn:---as soon as I put my coat on, my head stuffed up again, my eyes watered, I started sneezing and coughing. I have been in bed all day, sick as a dog and miserable. Cold meds aren't cutting it and I feel like crap--physically. Emotionally I feel great---I actually did it! In the last ten days four major social events, stress, depression....
I thank you all for your support and encouragement. I love you guys for helping me so much.:h
