Thanks guys. I think I am getting it.
Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I was preparing for executive meetings all day Sunday, and presenting all day today. It went absolutely perfectly! I have never had so many compliments. I truely believe I couldn't have pulled it off while drinking.
No beast activity. I was invited out to dinner where I am sure drinking would be happening. I declined. I did not decline due to any thoughts of drinking, but rather out of exhaustion and I wanted to go home to the family.
This may have opened doors for me. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Whether or not it is a higher power, karma, etc is inconsequential to me. I am just so happy to not be drinking.
