Talking 90 days!!!

Big milestone for me... 90 days as of yesterday. I have been through just about every drinking challenge there could be, including a week in Key West, cruise ship work, and gigs and parties where alcohol is readily available. Most of the time it's not an issue... and if I have a craving I do find that it's gone within 5 minutes. My life is SO much less complicated without drinking...

Thanks for all the support here... SR is one of my sanity lifelines and just reading others' posts has been a big help and re-enforcement for me.

This was a big one for me. Looking back, I believe the craving was lifted about this time.



Way to Go!!
