25 days and it’s still hard to refrain....

But I'm doing it! Tonight is my 30 year high school re-union too! Wish me luck you all.
Thanks for your support! I just have to stay away from the bar!

Bring phone numbers (if you have them!) for others who are sober.
Bring your own vehicle so you can leave if you need to.
Plan AHEAD. Be prepared to leave if the urge to drink comes on.
Be real careful Michael, you worked hard for these 25 days.

Enjoy that reunion Michael, and remember that you never need to drink again.

HI 96tears..I was away on business to welcome you...So welcome.
25 days is good. Keep it up.
It is possible and worth it. Just get passed the rough patches and it will all be so clear and get so much easier.
Good luck at your reunion and dont give in to temptation.
