So tomorrow is three weeks
My pal the beast is trying to convince me that I should have a few to celebrate.....hell, it is even trying to get me to look long term like my Disney trip coming up in January (just one fancy drink at the Polynesian). Had I known that this was going to be the end result, I would never have picked up that first drink when I hit 21. But...nothing I can do now expect keep my head up and focus on the positives right now like the money I have saved, the amount of cigarettes NOT smoked while drunk, time added back to my days here on earth, better singing voice for my band, etc... I also find it much easier to focus at work and to deal with the stress when I am in control.
Hope all of you are finding your strength as well. Stay focused

Congratulations, and like Dee said - just don't listen to that voice! It is a liar and it is not your friend. Listen to it - really - "you've done so well! 3 weeks! Why not drink to celebrate?" It makes no sense to sabotage all you've achieved through having a drink, yet that voice doesn't care about your achievements... we all do, though. Lots and lots! And we're telling you not to drink - no way! Celebrate by REALLY treating yourself. You deserve it. All the best to you x
