It has now been 22 hours since my last drink. I want to make it to 23...and then 24...and so on. I will be here at SR for every waking hour if need be. That's my plan...it's all I've got right now. I had only had 3 days of sobriety when our company arrived on Friday. I was in no place strong enough to maintain my sobriety...our get togethers have always involved drinking...mostly at my encouragement incidentally. I discussed my alcohol abuse with my 2 best friends of 20 years, and they want to support me. Neither of them drink to any real extent. Nor does my husband. Nope, it's the husband of my best friend that is my fellow partier. No blame, my decision, but next visit I'll be more explicit in my request that they don't bring vodka...by then I should have at least 3-4 months of sobriety behind me. They live a distance away so we only get together about 2-3 times/year.
