its been awhile
Hey guys 
I am back. I am happy to say I am ten days sober.
The best thing about sobriety is SLEEPING. I also have zero anxiety.
I have been to social gatherings and have declined drinking every time, even when I asked for water and my friend drunkenly handed me her vodka & water instead. I accidentally took a sip and hated it.
I decided to come back to SR because when I woke up today, instead of feeling grateful for ten days sober, I am making excuses to drink again.
I guess I just needed a reminder that alcohol wasn't doing me any favors. I am only 26 and just because i managed to not hit a rock bottom doesn't mean I shouldn't quit. And just because all my friends are partying doesn't mean it's right or that I have to partake in it.
I also need to remind myself of what I used to be. I really don't want to be that person again.
And I need to congratulate myself. Ten days is the longest in a few years. I feel great. Thanks for the support SR.

Welcome back and congrats on 10 days!
Do a search for "Day 1" posts if you ever need a reminder of what really waits for us if we start to listen to those excuses and promises our addicition generates.

Welcome back, Jade 
I think triple congratulations are in order:-
Congrats on 10 days
Congrats on tackling this at the tender age of 26 (I wish I had)
and congrats on giving up before reaching rock bottom
Sounds like a recipe for success to me!
