I quit drinking 7 days ago.... I am excited to make it to here, but I knew I could make it this far.
This is where it is going to get hard for me. I am on a snowboarding tour and all the athletes will start to come in next week; therefore, a bunch of parties will be thrown and free alcohol will be supplied.
I know that NOT going is NOT an option because I have to make an appearance... that is just how the industry is.
I was thinking that I might write 12.6.08 on my hand and look at it to remind me to stay strong... those types of things help me for some reason.

I have been working out and eating right too, which has made me feel even better about being sober. When I am drinking, I eat horribly and I am too hung over to get to the gym.

I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS, I HAVE TO DO THIS.


Love Yourself.
Know Yourself.
Be Yourself.
LIVE.

Love life.

Hi,

Congratulations on your 7 days sober!

I could not be around alcohol at all in the early days of my sobriety, but I wish you well if you believe you can do it.

Congratulations on 7 days! And YES, you can, do this.

Lots of places do the free alcohol thing. Don't they know they aren't doing us any favors?! :-)

Good to know you are planning to protect
your early sober days.


I suggest going to the bar and asking for a 7-up.
Plop a lime init....then it looks like a drink.
Hold on to it...if you set it down...smel to make sure it's yours.
Dance a lot...

Well done on your first week...

Congrats on a week sober! Just think how much more ready for the action you will be without indulging. You can do it!

Congrats on your seven days. I am also one week sober. Is there any way you could tell one person what you are trying to do? That way, you will have some support when you are tempted to drink. Good luck! I am also a snowboarder and look forward to some shredding soon!
