I did not go to one yet as I went hiking for 2 hours yesterday at place about an hour from my house. I was pretty tired when I got in from being out in the cold, sun, wind & walking the whole time. I am on the verge of going to one though, and talking to everyone on here has given me more courage to do so. I also went to a small dinner party at a friends house last night for her birthday and succeeded in not having anything alcoholic. I made myself an iced water with lemon the first minute I walked through the door and re-filled it a few times, also had a soda.

I feel really good today, at 8 days sober. I know that it is crucial that I start meetings for the social support. I have some work to do today so depending on how that goes, I may try to make a 7:15 beginners meeting. Otherwise I’ll wait till Wednesday (busy day tomorrow). The week days are not so much of a risk to me as weekends, so I’m not too worried about slipping up, but I do want to get it over with and go to one already. Thanks so much for all the support and wisdom- makes all the difference
