Yay! made it 1st weekend
Yay! made it 1st weekend
I am so proud of myself and only other alcoholics can know this kind of joy. I made it the whole weekend without drinking for the 1st time in 11 years. I am so happy and it is a beautiful today. No hang-over or guilty feelings. No shame or embarressment this weekend. The urge and cravings were extremely difficult but I pulled through and it gives me insentive to keep going. Today is a great day!
Sassy, I just kept my focus. I kept telling myself, the only control I have over alcohol is NOT taking that 1st drink. I constantly talked to myself. I reminded myself that I already know and have seen that just one drink turns into more than I count by the end of the night. I also kept busy. I went to public places with my kids where I couldn't drink like the park with my grandma(grandma being there was important because I usually would drink at the park) and to the swapmeet etc. I also told myself "just think how proud you will be to show yourself you can do it" I have failed many weekends trying to stay sober but I finally did it. It's a good fear of alcohol right now that the himiluation and guilt is fresh on my mind.
You can do... we all do it together with each others support and praise. You will make it too!!!
