Call out to all Day Fivers!!

I am so excited to be at day 5! Physically I am feeling much better- I am through the worst of the withdrawal I think. Now comes the really tough part... but I am determined.

Congrats to the rest of you on day 5. I would love to hear how day five is treating you!

Happy Holidays!

My Day 5 has been just great so far. I just got in from the gym and I am headed over to the company office party.

I'll be around later this afternoon. I am being very careful today. I can't wait to wake up without a hangover for Christmas.

I am there ExNavy and so excited. I am a bit apprehensive about today's family gathering. Me turning down alcohol will create quite a stir. I am still deciding what I am going to say. I am leaning toward saying nothing and leaving them wondering.... everyone loves a mystery. Although the fact that I have consumed too much alcohol at nearly every family function is hardly a mystery... lol.

Keep fingers crossed for me.

Well, I am on day 7 now. Yesterday's family Christmas dinner was strange. Everyone kept offering to top my glass off with more champagne. It looked good. But the short term pleasure would not have been worth starting over and opening up all those pleasure pathways in my brain again. It is weird to think that I just can't drink like other people. But this time I think I finally have my mind wrapped around that truth and that is what will keep me sober.

Love to all on this journey....

Congrats on getting through yesterday! I know it was a tough one for a lot of people. Seems like we all came out pretty undamaged and even stronger than before.

9days.
