Thanks all for the warm welcome to your thread. I will check in daily.
Its 9 PM and almost time for bed. That will secure 49 days for me. Longest stretch without a drink since I was 16. Almost 60 now. Speaking of 60, my wife had bought me a couple of tickets to see Tim/Faith in Vegas on Mar1 which is my 60th birthday. She bought them last August. We were planning a group trip to vegas. Since I dried up, I have been to Cuba all inclusive, half a dozen Christmas parties and abstained thru all of it. Vegas different story.
I first went to Vegas when I was 21 and have returned at least 25 times. Each time was a few days of over indulgence on the liquor, eating, carousing and gambling. Over the Christmas week, I started to think more and more how I was going to handle this trip. I came to the realization that I do not want to put that temptation in front of me. Talked to my loving supportive wife and we decided to cancel the trip. I am so relieved. I just know its not the place for me right now. $400 worth of tickets means nothing if I have a slip.
My wife is so great. I would be dead by now if it wasn't for her.
Just thought I would share that with you.
