Last night was my first Friday in a while...

That I did not drink, and I know I'm also going to make it the rest of the weekend. Coming back to SR has been so helpful and yesterday after getting home from work, I kind of just hung out here and posted like a mad woman.

Anyway, after a long week at work it was also nice to not wake up to the alarm clock and lounge in bed a bit, but I am now ready to get up and start moving.

My sweetie and I might play some tennis later, but I think I'm going to go for a long walk to Starbucks and get myself a Tazo Passion Iced Tea.

See y'all later!!!

***I posted this in Alcoholism as well, but no one seems to be looking there, and this was big for me.***

Thing is, I also know I'm going to make it through the rest of the weekend, and then making it through the week would be FANTASTIC!!!! This site has always helped me, and I'm grateful to be back. Thanks.

Oh, don't mind those alcoholics...

Mental Illness usually doesn't work very well either. I'm so glad we're sober!

grandma12, glad you didn't pick up either, I'm going to make it through this weekend. I am planning on making it through all of next week as well. One day at a time. I have an appt. with my primary Dr. on Thursday and on the following Monday my first therapy session. Looking forward to getting back on board and staying there.

You too Caledonia, I have read many of your posts as I've been keeping myself pretty much glued here for now, it's helping my sobriety. I think we're gonna get along just fine!!

Thank you!!
