Ten days - woot woot!
Late check-in for the day because it's been crazy busy at work, but I'm at 10 days today! Woohoo!
The more I look back on my past behaviors, the more I realize that reaching 10 days is actually pretty phenomenal for me. I can't remember the last time I went a whole 10 days without some type of booze.
Yesterday my BF said, "You seem happier these past couple of days." I'm a happy person most of the time in my life, but I think he meant I have more energy and I'm just... lighter, I guess.
Oh - and a co-worker said yesterday, "Nikki, you're skin looks so great! Your complexion is so smooth." - Granted I was wearing makeup, but you can't cover everything with foundation and I even noticed a difference in the way I looked yesterday.
I'm in the process of coming up with a plan for this Friday. Friday's are always a booze night for me, so I need to be prepared while my BF is out of the house.
Hope you are all doing well.

Hey Nikki- Congratulations on 10 days! You sound great!
Good idea to plan ahead for the weekend. That's always the hardest time...we seem to remember the best times of our drinking instead of the horrible way we feel on Saturday morning...and how we waste the entire weekend away due to being hungover.
Keep-on keep'in on girl!

Nikka- how many times have I achieved something, then in my stupid mind- reminded myself it was no big deal, that normal people do these things..
Normal people in many cases are actors- who think the same way. Any achievement in recovery is significant. From the small challenges I overcome- I remind myself it is very important, that I did this- successfully and without booze. That every small thing- routine, washing clothes, eating right- HALTS- helps me deal with bigger stuff.
Well done on 10 days. A significant thing.
