2 weeks
Last 2 weeks haven't been fun, it's been a long time since I was last sober, a long time...so had forgotten how much fun the first few were 
And to top it off, I had a social engagement to couldn't get out of last night - 3 hours of 'c'mon have a drink / just leave your car and get a taxi / you can crash at mine' painful, frustrating and upsetting, probably should have avoided it at this stage, but didn't want to let someone down.
Anyway, all that aside, Saturday morning number 2 without a hangover, so silver linings.

Welcome to SR 
I had to make a few changes to make things easier on me, like avoiding those kind of friends, at least for a while.
It really did make it easier on me - I hope you'll find it gets easier too

Thanks...I'm not one for socialising all that much, just bad timing.
I didn't plan on giving up when I did, I just decided that enough was enough, with hindsight I possibly should of spoke with my GP, but at this point haven't sought any support as it's kind of a private battle, and to be honest, I feel kind of ashamed (not sure it's the right word, but it close enough) so I'm not sure I can/want to talk about it with anyone.
My wife is uber supportive, and has also stopped drinking (she is and always has been a very moderate drinker) to help me through.

Welcome Cokie. Having a supporting partner is good for you. Putting yourself in tempting situations is not. Don't need to explain yourself or come up with excuses. It is up to you to make sure you are safe if it is a gamble to be in those situations. As you continue you must decide which is more important, staying sober or risking losing it again.
Best wishes.
Congrats on 2 weeks.
