Checking in after social/business event....

Hey everyone---Woke up to a Happy Sober Saturday

I mean literally woke up with a smile on my face--very cool!

SunFlower --Wow! Thank you for your lovely long post. How thoughtful to check in with everyone!

Deepblue - I'm right there with you. Doing a detox clean eating program and the bloat is going away. Down 13 pounds in 23 days so to me that's an indicator of how much I was drinking (& eating)--Ugh! I'll take that 13 down:-)

About last night's event - it was very nice and I remembered each detail
this morning! If this had happened in Dec. I would have drank myself silly in anticipation/anxiety AND would have drank again during the event AND poured a nightcap or 2 or 3 at home. Then would wake up wondering what the **** did I do or say last night?

My takeaway lesson -- I handle anxiety much better when I don't drink.

Dee -- thanks for the coping links!

Celebrating Day 23
