Thank you, Surrendered19! ... and thank you for mentioning that most people probably won’t notice. It made me think, and you’re right. I tried to quit in November, before Thanksgiving. I was sober for 24 days. I went to 3 parties and no one noticed or cared that I wasn’t drinking. This time around, I’m not going to put myself in those situations though. Going out for holiday festivities is what triggered me to start drinking again.
This time around, the last time I drank was around 11:30pm on Friday, 1/10, so 4 days sober by the end of the day today. I’m looking forward to getting time back now that I won’t be nursing hangovers.
