Today's hurdle...

Was having dinner out at a restaurant with a friend.
He wanted to order a glass of wine, not even a bottle, just one glass and wanted me to order one too (I haven't told any friends or family that I've quit alcohol for good) but I managed to resist. Even though I thought if I'm eating one glass won't do anything but then I thought so why even bother? Sparkling water with elderflower cordial is my new hard stuff! I felt great to be able to say no and stick to my guns. What a proud moment. You know when I look bak at the embarrassment and loss of self esteem drinking causes you? Well denying that drink and sticking to my sobriety has helped redeem some of that for me today. Just thought I'd share my thoughts with you all today, a little positives goes a long way.
Stay strong people and remember you always have a choice

Nothing better for self esteem,in my opinion than to wake up knowing that you did the right thing the night before.
Keep on keepin on!
