1st sober weekend
....was tough. Just driving home Friday was a challenge. Almost gave in and went after a bottle of wine Saturday night but overcame that urge and went to bed. Sunday was busy with painting and yard work. I know I DESERVED a reward for all of the progress I had made. We went to dinner and I asked my wife on the way if one beer meant failure. She said " no beer" and I agreed that it's my sobriety and even if she had said yes I still wouldn't have ordered one. But.....I ordered an O'douls N/A and have to say that drinking it was second place to just having it sitting on the table. I found comfort with my old friend just being there.
Anyway...only had the one; no big deal. We had an enjoyable evening talking about our addictions (she's quitting smoking) and how already our lives have improved. It was a good weekend. Now...IF I COULD JUST SLEEP!
