Small victory

65 + days without a drink & today was the first time I have said to someone that isn't family "I don't drink".

-Wine testing at local supermarket.

Felt good.

Porcetta, that is a huge victory! The supermarket was a big challenge for me in the first couple of months, so I can completely appreciate what it took for you to say those words and keep on moving. Every one of those seemingly small moments really do build up our strength. Good for you. And congratulations on 65+ days! That is wonderful.

I don’t drink and/or I am no longer a drinker is the core of my sobriety

Congrats, I think it is a tremendous victory. I have found the more I say I don’t drink, the easier it gets. Good for you
