    Made it through the night!!

    I am on day 3 AF. Tonight was a bit tougher even than last night. I went to a dinner/going away party where everyone else was drinking. I really wanted the first one, knew I couldn't have it and went through about 10 minutes of just wanting to get out of there, run home and cry. But I made it through it and actually started enjoying myself. Good music was playing in the background and I was enjoying the conversation. I was actually present and not in an alcoholic haze. I left before the other guests (I am typically the last to leave and never the first) and opted out of going to a bar later to hear a band. I am now home in bed sober again and thankful. I am certain had I had that first drink I would have ended up blacking out and feeling terrible tomorrow morning, emotionally and physically. This is not easy, but I know I am going to feel great tomorrow!

    Present, You are so strong! You did amazingly well in the last two nights.
    I also had a craving for a glass of wine and said to myself - "who are you trying to kid"
    Had tea instead. We are going to feel so good tomorrow

      Being and the new, great job to both of you. my new motto is " i want to leave when people want me to stay rather than stay when they want me to leave" i find that people enjoy my company more when i do this.

        Cacky, I love this! As someone who stayed at parties to the bitter end, I can totally appreciate your new motto. I take, you had an AF evening yourself.

                          You should feel proud of yourself. I am on day three also and went to dinner last night, everyone drinking but I stayed tight with my lemon water. This is the first time in many years that I was sober 3 nights in a row.

                            Good morning to all! Feeling great! I am so proud of all of us. And I can't believe how many have just started out and are keeping on track. YAY us!!

                            Good job New Me. I have fallen off the wagon trying to kid myself before. I still keep trying to do it. However, I think at this point I am no longer kidding myself, I am just lying to myself.

                            To quote National, bring on day 4!!!!!
