Day 8 Tomorrow: First Social Event Since My Last Drink
When I decided last Friday I was going to try to quit booze, I knew I was picking an easier time of year (for me) to do it. Except for interacting with my wife and son and going to two AA meetings and going to work from Monday thru Friday, I've had the luxury of curling up on the couch most nights since it has been dark and chilly for the most part. Now tomorrow night we are going to an annual charity benefit with open bar. Any words of encouragement will help. I plan on drinking club soda with lime (any reason that's a problem?). I will ask my wife to consider my feelings and leave earlier than we'd normally do if I have a hard time.
