5 weeks tomorrow WhooooooHoooooo! Boom!!!!!!

Five whole weeks! Just two days shy of my personal best.....here is the thing. The last week has by far been the hardest. Cravings like a madwoman. I haven't posted about them because I didn't feel in danger of relapse. I did whine excessively on a PM where a nice man tried to help me (thanks). Everyone always says it gets better, easier. Probably true in some areas. I have also found the further away I get from my last drink....that sneaker voice of mine says.....you can probably have one now.....I haven't, because I know that's a lie.
But I sure wish these crazy urges would go away. Love ya' bunches!!!
Boooooom!!!!!!!

Majorly awesome, Raider. Keep giving that AV heck; he really doesn't like it when you talk back to him.
