    4 Large Wine Bottles in the Recycle Bin...

    And one seltzer bottle - that was mine! Yeah!

    Day 5 and I had a party at my house last night, and didn't drink! I had planned it a while back before a disasterous Saturday night so I stuck it out! Shopping for all that wine was hard.

    What a great feeling to get up today NOT hungover and an actually clean house because I cleaned before I went to bed and didn't get up to a kitchen full of food and stinky wine glasses.

    And, it was interesting to watch others suck down the glasses - one friend was slurring and stumbling when she left (she lives down the street so didn't drive). I tried to give her water early on but I think she found the wine bottle on her own. Thinking about it, I think she arrived with a few in her. That person would usually be me and today I would be calling everyone today and apologizing. And I wouldn't have even noticed HER condition. I wouldn't have even remembered who left when. Today I would be trying to recall all the stupid things I said and did with a big fat hangover.

    Not me, not today... We can all get through the holidays!!

    I just want to add that the big reason I didn't drink is from all the threads and posts I have been reading all week from ALL OF YOU - THANK YOU!

                  Thank you all for your encouragement. I have made it a week, maybe 2 when I've tried to quit in the past and a night like last night would prompt me to think "OK, I know I can quit anytime, so I am still good to drink..." I have to get OUT of that mindset. I know now I have a 'virtual support group' sitting right in my office at all times... :thanks:

                    Well done. Everything is SO much better when your not hungover. I too, feel like you. I have been the designated drive more times then I would care to be in the last few months. My friends, who I used to think were amusing, now annoy me come a few hours into the event. I can't stop remembering, I was one of them not to long ago. Keep up the good work!

                        Sunnyside, that is great! Keep up what you are doing every day and it just keeps adding up. One day at a time becomes a week, a month, more months.... Enjoy the positives of being AF, and honestly remember the negatives of AL. Thanks for sharing your story - it always brightens my day to read of any and all successes. Much love! :h
