Hi All,

I am proud to say I’m over 230 days since I’ve last been intoxicated and made the decision to change my life for the better.
I had one minor slip along the way at a work function I feared not fitting in if I didn’t have a drink with dinner so I ordered the lightest lowest alcohol option available. I had just one and that was seven weeks ago.
I could really beat myself up about that single beer, in reality I think that experience helped. I realized that a single low alcohol beer doesn’t make me fit in with the drinkers, it doesn’t make me funnier or dance better (neither does 15 honestly) so it’s gotten me away from the obsession with not being able to fit in without moderate drinking. Moderate drinking is a waste of calories.
While I would like to be able to say not a single drink in over 230 days, I can’t. However I am celebrating massive progress over that timeframe. And can proudly still say 7 weeks totally sober and lessons learned along the way.
