Well day 34......wow.....and to add to my birthday last Tuesday, I had a big test last night, ..the birthday party 2 weeks ago was nothing, last night went out to a wedding reception....great place, people I knew etc....and, not even an inkling..not even a thirst at all..on the ride home my wife told me she was very proud of me and I was proud of myself...I went to the open bar which was around a corner from the dance and dinner floor, asked for 7-up several times..was there alone and could easily have asked for a ginger ale with a few shots of scotch etc...no one would have known or been the wiser...as there were many “merry” people about, my wife one of them...but, it never occurred to me...on the way there, my wife asked if it would bother me if she drank, she offered not to, as she isn’t a big drinker anyway, I told her have at it, I am the one with the issues she isn’t...why should she pay for my weakness..and all was well....I cannot believe am at a month plus and have not drank....it amazes me...I have not gone this long since I was 16...and I don’t se myself going back but will as always be on my guard...

It was a joy to be the designated driver..not because I was guilted into it, but because, I wanted too....what a relief...

That's great Carl!

I'm glad to hear that your wife is proud of your hard work and I'm sure that makes you feel good.

By the way, I don't believe it's a ''weakness'' or a character defect. I believe it's a disease.

It just keeps getting better, Carl. I'm very happy for you.

Way to go Carl! Each obstacle that you overcome just adds to the realization of the blessing that is sobriety.
