So, is it just will power at this point?
Biza, It sounds wonderful that you have so many people in your circle that are sober and have plans for fun parties. I gotta get me some of those people.
I would not be able to be friends with someone who encouraged me knowing I wanted to stop, that would break me down so fast. I only have 5 days, I am worried about this weekend. It has everything to do with will power for me, a good plan and as I have heard over and over, I just do not have to drink this minute or hour, not at this party, not right now. I'll give myself til tomorrow and think about it again. That's my plan.
