I am so proud for me yay. I was on my way home to ask my partner a question which I would have known if he was lying. He asked me to stop & get him a carton. Was already angry & nervous & the bottle shop had taste testers I was offered & I said no :-) plus he didn't lie yay phew

Well done Django 
And welcome to the newcomers this class is getting big! hopefully they will be lots of us here this time next month.
Day 23 now, Im finding it easy to keep track o the days because I stopped on the first lol. feeling ok a bit blue today and kind of thinking about what I've done with my life and what I'm going to do now. Still I'm hoping that now I've taken alcohol and drugs out that this will leave room for something positive to enter, I've already taken up hiking which I absolutely love but would like to do something else a bit more "creative" in a job and not just something that just does to pay the bills ( which is great in itself!) I don't know guess I'm hoping for a little more fulfilment in life so I'm just going to have to go and find it myself. Have a good day everyone. Peace X

Well, it's been 2 days since my last hangover and starting to feel better. Starting to feel normal, whatever that is. And we have a dinner engagement with a couple tonight who know I drink wine, but never to excess with them. Just one or two with dinner.
So now that I am no longer nauseous or anxious, my mind is telling me, "go ahead, you can have just one or two with a nice dinner. Besides, how would I explain not having wine to them."
Part of the mind talk I've been having for a year or so. And even if I don't have more than 2 that night and then stop again, It has always ended up that a few days, weeks or months later, I end up having a single glass or two every day until that next drunk. After which I wake up and promise never again.
Does this make any sense to anyone?
Well, not tonight. I've committed to me and this class not to drink. Just have to decide what to say if asked why I'm not.
You all have given me strength with your posts. Be resolved today and congratulations on all milestones. Here's to our Independence from our addictions.

Freddy....don't give up. If I will not drink wine tonight, you can get thru what ever it is you're struggling with.
And, you are a child of God, so you are not utter **** , no matter what you feel. Try to think differently so you feel differently. Easier said than done, I know.

Con I won't have fun around anyone who drinks which is everyone I know
Pro I'll make more friends & be invited to places that doesn't include drinking
Con I won't be able to travel for ages
Pro stuff travelling I'm saving for a house so that's not for 4 years away & I'll be a better person
Con I can't socialise & even just have a few drinks with dinner, colleagues or on our anniversary have champagne & strawberries
Pro I'll keep my job get promoted, keep my partner & learn to love myself more
I hope that helps xxx k
