Day 20
Day 20 was a pretty indifferent day ... i didnt really get the urge to drink but i felt like i needed to be in that environment again, but by better judgement i declined the invitations to go to oktoberfest with my mates.I dont think im really ready to put myself in situations like that just yet , it could be a test after i reach my 28 day goal. Thanx to all the ppl that gave me support in my last post it was a really ruff day n u guys really helped pull me thru. Im kind of anxious about next week in sittin down with my mum n sister to talk bout the full extent of my problem.. theyve always thought i had a problem with alcohol but they dont even know the half of it. My mate has asked me to join him in goin to church but im not a very religous person( no offence to those that r ) i see that hes tryin to help me fill the void with some spirituality but im not too sure. thanx guys once again for your support and if theres anyway i can help any of u pls dont hesitate to contact or even add me as a friend .... after all even tho were fighting our own battles but were all fighting the same war

also there
I am a baby still and tip toe from day to day, determined not to break ranks and fall back into the trap, the hole. I am so scared to start again. My life has changed for the better, I dream dreams again, I feel my body healing, my thought patterns are clearer. I never want to ever give that up, ever.
I am also faced with invitations to gatherings where alcohol will be available and yet trying to maintain friendships and business friendships without drinking, without feeling stuckup! Do it, it gets easier to say, no thanks. I try not to get into detail of why I have had to give up and so on. Tacktfully change the subject and move on. You can have fun without alcohol! That I have to constantly remind myself but I know that it is true.
What I do believe is that I was graciously blessed with a second chance. I didnt go to church to realise that but a greater being's hand was involved, no doubt. You too were blessed to have reached 20 days.
