Didn't drink Friday night
Boy, I wanted to. Thought about it a lot, but I used some tips you guys gave me (riding the urge wave was a good one, thanks Dee!)
I might drink tomorrow, but I didn't today. Five days. I feel like I'm white knuckling it a bit ... But I'm giving it what I can.

I agree, be nice to yourself maybe a pedicure? Give yourself a facial, notice little things.

Congratulations on getting through 
At the begining i found showers incredibly good for me , they helped me get outside my thinking and just experience and enjoy the feel of the water and getting clean . I did that anytime the stuggle was getting difficult , i was very clean back then LoL
Nice clean sheets on the bed also made me feel snuggly so going to bed early didn't seem that bad .
I used to mostly drink in the evenings , so early bedtimes seemed to help as i was "safe" once i got into bed .. sometimes as early as 6 PM
Bestwishes, M

2 weeks today.
I have the odd craving here and there, but for the most part it hasn't been bad. I do have a question? I have had 3 beer in the trunk of my car that have been acting as a comfort for me knowing that they are there. I tried to give them to a friend last night, but a little anxiety took over and couldn't do it. Do you think I should get rid of them? I have been under alot of stress in these last two weeks and if I were to drink them I prob would have done so by now.

Good Job!
In the beginning the w/e's and especially friday's, can be tough. Consider that a victory for DETERMINATION!
Keep it up and soon friday's won't have the same draw to alcohol that they once did.
Congratulations!
