I have a huge sense of accomplishment today. I had a very rare dinner party in which we served wine, & I didn't drink. I feel so great today! I know I can do it again. I think that I've been feeling so great sober...exploring new outer & inner territory...that I didn't want to spoil it w/a slip. I also think that exercise helped. I even opened a bottle of red wine to cook with & didn't sample it.
Here's how normal people drink: one 1.5 L bottle of wine & 4 bottles of beer. That's for 5 people, all night. If I had been drinking too, we would have opened a second bottle of wine (which I would have finished up later or today).
We now have an unopened bottle of white (my nemesis) in the fridge. We're having people over again in a few weeks. We'll save it for that...that's a sacred pledge.
I'm going to continue the Jazzercise & stay centered. Also, of course, I'll be checking into MWO regularly. I couldn't have begun this journey wo/MWO & thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Last year at this time, I was just beginning my first very long AF run.
For the newbies here, those AF stints are getting me ready for the deeper changes I've needed to make in order to lead an AF life.
Next Sat., we're going to a wedding. I'll have my plan in place.
Love, Mary
