Checking in, also! I hope everyone is feeling okay on this beautiful Tuesday. Feeling good today, didn't wake up with a hangover, feeling more clear headed and energetic and happier. I love this not drinking thing.

Hi Claire, Bpositive, and Gilmer,
Good morning from CA. Coffee time
then time to walk the dog. Feel good on the start of my 4th week.
A friend called to go for a drink yesterday and I immediately sent her a text that I quit drinking. I was curious to see if she'd say she wanted to see me anyway, but she didn't. Oh well. Moving on.

Hey sober buddies
I have been reading all your posts over the last few days but haven't had much time to post. Still going strong, day 30 for me!
The sugar craving has died down massively, and I am half a stone lighter. Work is much less stressful, I have spoken to my boss again about my hours and we have reached a compromise so I'll be getting one weekend and one Sunday off a month I haven't had a weekend off apart from annual leave in more than a year so I can't wait!
I've also had a really long chat with my husband and we are getting on so much better. We have been so close the last few days it's been lovely
I decorated the house for Christmas today and after I had finished my av chirped up, a glass of red wouldn't hurt, just one to be festive. I told it to shut its trap and had an apple spiced tea! The craving hardly ever hits me, but if it does it disappears quickly.
I had a lovely spa day with my daughter last week, every time I treat myself to one I always have wine. This time I drank lots of water and then ordered a diet coke with lunch and a latte with dessert. I enjoyed that spa day more than any one I've had before! It was so relaxing and I wasn't rushing to get home to continue drinking like every other time.
Life is good

Checking in at day 19. Still no booze in sight!
I had a terrible craving for wine today. We dropped our son off at his grandma's for the day and that is when I would usually hit it pretty hard. I made it through and enjoyed a chicken club instead.

Day 5. Heading out to CT for a business trip tomorrow. We have a company dinner with (oh joy) a "cocktail hour" prior. It's club soda and lime for me, baby. And I think I'm going to come a bit late and make it a cocktail half hour 
DH and I had a very good, real conversation tonight about our drinking and the fact that it needs to stop. Just one or two will never be a possibility again. I think DH is coming to that realization more slowly than I am. After all, he's not the one who blacked out on Thanksgiving so he doesn't have scary moment quite as immediate as mine.
My FIL is very ill and in all likelihood won't live much longer. We agreed we have a tough road ahead in that regard and booze is going to make it worse, not better. Felt good to get that out in the open.
DH and I talked about the cruise we want to finally go on with the $$ we're saving. Feels good to plan positive things.

I think you're actually better off than you were before Liss - when you think of drinking again, you can call on this experience
You'll have your own ideas on the things you let slip in your recovery this time.
Use this experience to make sure you don't make the same mistakes again
you'll be OK
