I've made it to day 7!
To be honest I am a little worried about the next few weeks. Its been a very long time that I have even had a day 7, let alone a day 2 or 3. But in the past it seems to be between day 7 through day whatever that I finally convince myself that I am just fine and can go right back to the destructive pattern.
Luckily I have no alcoholic holiday events to go to. The Christmas party is a sober one. Many of my friends are in recovery and plan healthy parties. The friends who are not in recovery know I really need to not be around alcohol right now and we are scheduling social events during the day. With the exception of one friend who is just convinced this is a phase for me and keeps offering to take me out for shots and beers. UGH. I am working on him.
So, is it just will power at this point?
