Today was pretty tough for me too. My boyfriend and I went out to dinner for the first time since quitting and it was the first time since turning 21 that I did not get an alcoholic beverage. I got water instead. And it was really really tough. I fought with myself in my head. My boyfriend even asked "are you gonna get a beer?" And that to me was like permission. I thought "oh! It's OK if I get one!" But I had to put myself in check. And I'm so glad I did as I lay here sober. Knowing tomorrow I can go to the gym. Knowing I'm one of those people with self control. One of those people I was always so jealous of when I would be up at 2 am 10 beers and half the refrigerator in feeling like I had absolutely no control.
