Hey Liz, that is awesome. I like to think there are little signs like that all around us. On my first Day 1 this week there were fireworks outside my house. I had gotten over my hangover and was feeling good. I was surprised to see the nice fireworks, I did not expect that on that Sunday. So I stood there staring at them, enjoying them totally sober when all of a sudden it hit me... .this is a sign! Every time I have thought about drinking since then, I think of the fireworks and how I felt at that moment. I know it sounds a little hokey, but if it works for me, it works. Someone wants me to stop drinking, be it a guardian angel, or whatever, but I felt it.

I went to one AA meeting. I found it helpful, but not helpful enough. I need more "round the clock" support, and that is what I found here. Meetings are hard, VERY HARD, for me to squeeze into my schedule. And if I do have some time, I'd rather go to yoga class and do something good for my body and mind, if you know what I mean. Well, do keep us posted and don't give up if you slip up. I slipped up the first week and still, here I am now 5 days sober and feeling stronger every day.

You can do it!
