Day 13

Almost two weeks. It just gets better and better. I am a little worried that I have no cravings and that it might slam me some day. I have also having more and more cravings for sugar that I never had before. The dark chocolate candybars I hide in my dresser (from the kids--guess its better than hiding wine!), the chocolate ice cream at 10:00 at night, in bed, watching TV and reading a book on the commercials, kids all in bed asleep...wow is that the greatest way to end a day. Used to be I couldn't see the TV or concentrate on a book at that time of night!

I have lost 7 lbs in 13 days which is just crazy. Of course the butt and boobs is first to go for me. My husband has really noticed that I need some new pants! Need to get more off the belly...guess I should do some sit ups and work on that.

They only comment that has been said at all about my not drinking by my kids was when I was really anxiety ridden about 4 days into abstinence and my oldest told me to chill out and have a glass of wine. She didn't know I was going through detox or that I had even quit drinking. The others have not said a word about my not drinking. So, is it that they didn't really notice how much I was drinking? Or notice that I'm not drinking? I can't believe that since I "fell asleep" watching movies with them all the time and always had a glass of wine in my hand. Maybe they are relieved, but don't say anything. What would they say anyway?

All I know is that things are much better without it and I don't think about it all day anymore at all. I used to start thinking about drinking in the early afternoon and would be annoyed if I was side tracked and couldn't get home right after work for a glass of wine.

I am guessing I am saving at least $75 a week by not drinking. That can add up. I should take that money each day and put it away and buy myself a present when I hit a month!

Looking forward to Day 14!
