3 weeks today, moving along
Well it has been 21 days since I had my last drink 
I know that's great, but it's not something I try to let go to my head. After all, I would sometimes go this long without a drink (or at least without a drunk) just because I wasn't an every day drinker. But, still, something to be happy about.
I finally let my friends know I might not be able to join their camping trip. My dad is still having some health issues and managed to fall and break his ankle. I've been trying to get over and help as much as I can and since the camping trip is in about 6 weeks, I am sure he won't be all better by then. So I let them know that I just have too much family stuff going on to be able to take a whole weekend away. So it happens to help me out since I was worried about being stuck in the woods three hours away with drinking friends? That is a bonus I even told my dad that he got me out of a trip I didn't want to go on (didn't mention exactly WHY I didn't want to go).
Obviously, given all that, life has been more than a little stressful. Although, it is easier to put my energy into helping my family out than to worry just about myself. Thoughts of drinking cross my mind from time to time, but I jump on here, or I remind myself that no, I can't have just one. It doesn't work like that for me. So I want to say it has been easy not to drink these past three weeks, and it has, but the desire is still there, even if I'm busy enough to move past it.
But, work is fine, my husband is great and even though the circumstances suck, it's been nice focusing on my family and talking to them more. I'm pretty close with my parents and I like helping them out. Just hoping my dad gets better, for his sake, my sake and most of all my mom's sake. I guess I will remind you all to not take your family for granted? I heard my manager saying that she and her father have had a falling out and haven't spoken in three years and it made me so sad, because right now I don't even want to go three days without speaking to mine.
Sorry to get all serious. Hope everyone had a good weekend and is having an even better Monday!
