Greatful and pattyspaw -- great job!
Isn't it amazing how much better we look and feel without alcohol? Last week I was in San Francisco for business, and a co-worker from CA says "I can't believe how much weight you lost...blah blah blah..." and I thought, well -- I haven't lost that much weight -- then I remembered that last time this person saw me, I was still in my drinking days.... no more puffy, bloated look!
Good thing Ice Cream doesn't bloat me up the way beer did!
Greatful -- Keep it up, if the "mini-vacation" thing gets too tempting, you may want to have your priorities in order. For me, sobriety needs to be number one in my life -- without it I have NOTHING. So if I were in that position, I'd be thinking twice about a weekend getaway if booze will be around -- too slippery for me early in sobriety... worse case, take some phone numbers with you and your own means of transportation if you need to bail.
