I am 23 days in and all the up coming "big events" that I worried about (meal with old college friend; trip to Miami, etc.) went without a hitch. The "big deal" was in my mind. I have really taken everything One Day at a Time and it really works, I promise! Also, those resorts usually have lovely spas. Save all the money that you would have spent on drinking and treat yourself to a lot of scheduled spa sessions!!
