Hi all,
Today is day 30 and I just wanted to say thank you for being a place for me to lurk and feel welcome. I don't know anyone in 'real life' who does not drink so it has been a strange transition for me. I am sad to say I think I may have lost a "friend"...a couple of times she has asked me what I am doing after work then said "Oh wait! You're not drinking." Guess she wasn't that much of a friend after all but its still sad to lose a personal connection.
The last few days have been actually pretty easy, I almost didn't think about drinking. Then, this morning before work, I found a half-full bottle of wine in my garage (maybe from my hiding days). I gave it a good, long (maybe too long) stare, but then walked back into the house.
Anyway, thanks to this group of people! You guys are great!
