Thanks for all the encouragment...it really helps. Day 4 for me. Kind of grumpy and dizzy but still headed in the right direction.
Headed to a birthday party for my girlfriends 2 year old. The group of us girls are known for wine night....and have been code named the YAYA's. So though we've had a lot of fun in the past I have indicated to them that I won't be drinking with thme anymore as I have some health issues and can't seem to stop drinking to get home safely so no more for me. They are somewhat supportive. If I were to spell it out they would do what I ask but eventually quit inviting me I'm sure. Which is not such a bad idea but we live in a remote area and our kids all being the same age, play together, car pool and such.
I'm confident I will do what I need to do for myself and my family. So not worried about them bringing out wine. I'll just excuse myself early.
Okay...today is a good day. It feels good. It feels right.
