One full week AF. I think the only time I have done that was when I was stuck in the hospital for 3 weeks following a bad infection about 20 years-ago. And even then I snuck out after 10 days with the help of a friend, along with a cleverly concocted IV line, for a couple of beers down at the local pub. Thinking back I must have looked like a complete idiot.
Anyway, the fam and I went out last night for sushi, which in the past would have invariably entailed at least 3 gin & tonics for me. I had a big glass of honey-lemon iced tea instead. Even the hubs, bless his heart, had a sprite instead of his normal 2 - 3 mega-beers. And this morning I woke up after a full, uninterrupted nights sleep, without a headache, and feeling, um...dare I say...happy? Made a big pot of coffee and threw some bacon in the oven and here I am posting to y'all. Got some plans to go out shopping for school clothes for the kids today and maybe explore a little bit more of our new city, and it's going to feel so good to not feel dizzy and crappy all day.
Thank you all for your continued support. I feel for the first time in my drinking career that I just may have a chance at licking this thing.
