Dreaded Fridays!!

Today is day 11 sober.....and the hardest day so far. I just got done with an exam that I have been wanting to be over and done with for the past 3 months. And what I am thinking of celebrating with??? A few glasses of wine. Luckily I don't have any in the house, and I know I wont make the trip to the store to go and get it, so that's good, but it still doesn't stop the thoughts. GRRRRRRRR!!!! get out of my head!!!

Hey Holly, Day 11 for me too! Yay for us!

You don't have to celebrate with that evil wine ... do you like ice cream? Chocolate? Something else? How about slurping on some ice cream while enjoying a nice bubble bath? Or your favorite movie? There's always something else we can enjoy besides drinking. Right now I'm gnawing on some Twizzlers.

I'm on day 18 and I had some cravings earlier on. I just had a kitkat (chocolate does it for me right now) and got through it.

I do enjoy ice cream. Maybe I will treat myself!

Ya...those first few weekends are hard.

If it makes you feel any better I can tell you that they no longer bother me in that way. I really look forward to getting home to see my kids. I might watch a movie or maybe even go out for some night photography in Toronto. And even if I stay out late I'll still be up bright and early the next morning and feeling great.

So hang in there....it does get easier and easier.

Isn't it crazy that we consider "celebrating" with something that brings us so much grief.

Those thoughts will become less and less Holly.

Good choice Holly. When you wake up you will be so glad you didn't drink.

God bless.
