Smile Gingerale!!

I had to share this!! I am on my 9th day of sobriety!! Last night my daughter and grandson stopped by. Usually between 4:30- 5:00, I would be starting on my first of many glasses of wine. I think my daughter was shocked when instead of wine I poured myself a glass of gingerale! I realize this is just the beginning of my journey but I have to tell you that it felt so good!! This week may be challenging but I am trying to take each day at a time!! Thank you for all your support!! Lind

Congratulations Lind, keep it up! It gets easier too. Gingerale good as lots of sugar in it-I was drinking energy drinks which helped too.

It's empowering isn't it? I've had a few of these moments in the last 9 days as I'm at the same place in this journey as you are.

Congrats and keep it up!
