Good, positive thinking there ICAN. Not "if" I make it but "when" I make it! Drink some iced tea or soda or sparkly water while you're cooking!

Hey guys,

Hit day 30 today and it feels great but i've got a small problem that I've started a new job which is also great (yay!) and everything is going well so far but now they are trying to arrange for everyone to have a "drink" after work. I want to be social and go but I'm scared the old voice will creep in and say... well you've beaten this now so one won't hurt. Any advice be so helpful!

Congrats Lav!!! amazing!!

DONT DO IT!!! Fake being on meds that will make you deathly sick! Don't blow your quit, it takes forever to get back on track...a quick trip around the boards will tell you that. You've got your mind right NOW, you will be sick to your soul if you blow it!
I will PM you my cell phone if it will help! Protect your quit like your life depends on it. They will get over it....you won't!! Tomorrow is DAY 31, kapeesh??? Let me know if you want my number.....and we can text or you can call....Byrdie

Thank you all for your support!

Dayum,
Go for drinks but order something non-alcoholic. It's SO not worth it, for them, for your job, for ANYTHING! You can still be social and have fun without the poison in a glass. I know you don't want tomorrow to be Day 1....

Jennie - Have fun with your family! Tonight my sister is having my whole family over for dessert, but I just lost 15.5 lbs and I'm not blowing it for a cupcake! It's the same principal, remember WHY you are doing this in the first place!

Holy cow K9! 15.5 lbs is awesome!

Dayum-maybe once you get your foot in the door you can suggest raquetball tourneys (or something similar) after work instead of the bar.

Please don't lose your quit over this. It is so small in comparison to what you have already accomplished. Stay tough!

WOW 15.5 pounds - I am impressed K9!
I want to lose weight too.....it will help to ski the next couple of days and NOT drink!!

Jennie - have fun skiing! I used to snowboard and haven't been in forever.

Dayum - stay strong! I was just noticing your 30 day mark earlier today and thinking that I am excited to get there. Hang on for day 31.

K9 - that is great about your weight loss. Sounds like you have made all sorts of great changes. GL on the smoking quit. I used to smoke and quit many years ago. It was pretty dang hard but you can do it for sure.

Today (day 2) is going well. I went to the fabric store and bought some fun fabrics to use for a gift. Bought some extra to make a little sundress for my 2 year old. It is turning out super cute. Had to dust off the sewing machine this afternoon. But it's great to renew a hobby that was left behind because of AL.

Getting through a trigger now. Husband got home early and went downstairs to sleep for a short while (which is fine, he was at work since 4:00am). Usually, I'd be in the kitchen drinking wine while he does that and the girls play. Instead I hopped on here to check in and read a moment to get past the craving. So far, so good.

JCW - GREAT job coming here instead of pouring the wine! Little things like that will start to break the habit. Before you know it, you won't even think of the wine...I promise, it WILL happen...don't give up before it does! Again...good job!!

Thanks for the encouragement on the weight loss, it has taken a lot of pain and tears. LOL And tomorrow starts Day 1 of no smoking...again. *sigh* BUT, I promised my daughter I would NEVER give up trying to quit...and I won't...so here we go again!

Dayum - You can do this. Like you said, a drink (or two) to them is nothing, for you, it's the beginning of the spiral down again, and you don't want that...and WE don't want that for you. Show alcohol who's BOSS! Let us know how it went :l

Hi JetCity:

Aren't our triggers funny? My husband's having a lie down as well right now and that same thought flipped through my head as well: A nice R&C would do me nicely..NOT!

I'm having Chilli instead
