My goodness. Been a long emotional day & I turned down a second drinking event (w my best gf who I need to catch up with), now my other best friend & drinking buddy is texting - Thursdays are our night & I'm proud I'm still home not drinking. I'm super inspired by everybody here & the amazing will power people have had. I'm loving this forum & so encouraged by everybody here. I am also a huge overthinker & have self-medicated w alcohol in addition to prescription medicine to help stop the thinking, ruminating, think tank. I feel pretty good about having turned down two of my biggest temptations to go out tonight, on top of stressful stuff at work. It's because of this great new group of people I have found here that I can totally relate to. It almost feels better than feeling like I belong & "fit in" with my drinking buddies. Lots of positive & intelligent people in this April class. Loving it.
