Well, here I am 6 days sober. Last Saturday I got so wasted I don't remember most of the things I said and all day Sunday felt like I was going to die. I feel as if my body is still detoxing but in a few weeks I'll be better. I have the anxiety and impulse to drink running through my veins a little bit, but I don't want to. Been talking to myself a little bit which weirds me out, but whatever.

Tomorrow is a huge party at work for me, over 300 people and of course I'm one of the hosts, full bar and a 6 hour party, looking forward to sippin on some sparkling water, shirley temples and cranberry juice. Wish me luck. I work with a bunch of alcoholics so It'll make me feel good to be the DD for once.

There are some good tips for dealing with social occasions here Natalie, even if it's specifically about Thanksgiving:

Natalie, I had to go to a work party a few weeks ago where they shoved a martini in your hand as you walked through the door. I feel your pain. Hang in there.
