Personal Best!!
Personal Best!!
Hey!
Reached my longest ever sober time today of 13 days!
From tomorrow will officially be the longest I think I've ever gone in my adult life (20yrs) without a drink! Which is both fabulous yet tragic lol
I'm especially pleased because I had some perfect easy excuses to drink tonight:
a) there is a birthday in the family
b) we have a family visitor staying tonight
c) it's Friday
d) AV wants me to celebrate.
Yet as I bought the wine for my sister-in-law and even poured her glass, I didn't feel tempted! No I really didn't!!? Instead I had 2 pints... of green tea!! Yeah I did!! ME!! When my SIL questioned it I just (truthfully) said how I'm on a bit of a health kick and have cut back on coffee and sugar too, but made it clear I'm definitely not pregnant (as I know that would be her first assumption!) Anyway she nodded and we moved on to other topics. It was that easy!!
Which brings me to my last point: I'm so glad I live a lifestyle that is conducive to sobriety. I never go out due to having kids abroad and no family, so really no tempting social situations or people asking questions. If my husband was suprised at me declining wine he did not bat an eyelid or question it. Tho I'm sure he prefers me sober. Ooooh this is so exciting!!! I wonder where this sober train is taking me; how long the journey will be?? Could I really actually DO this? It feels so natural and right to be free from nasty toxins! Like I'm not not even missing out either?? Is this a common feeling, when you exceed your personal best sober time?? I know 2 weeks is not long in the grand scheme of things, but right now I'm euphoric and so proud!!
Happy weekend all
