Soph, your choice last night sounds to me like the perfect antidote to a stressful day, way better than a drink. I'm really learning to love all things cozy, including comfort food and early bedtimes!
MG, along the same lines, I'm really glad to be home on a Friday. Not that I have any choice with my daughter asleep in the next room, but I like it just the same.
MJ, I'm glad you made the trip. Sounds hard, but so worth it.
D, no apology needed. You're always here in spirit.
VC, I spent my share of time regretting I didn't quit sooner. But you know what? It doesn't matter. The past is gone, like water flowing under the proverbial bridge. All that matters is today, and today I didn't drink. I remember thinking I might never be able to quit. It really is like waking up from a nightmare. Still have my regrets, but mostly I just feel incredibly grateful for this chance.
Everyone, hope you have a great weekend. You guys really inspire me, especially on the days I feel low!
