Day 7

Here we are, day 7. In the past week, I've been in two circumstances in which I would normally drink. In both situations there were people drinking all around me. I have social anxiety, so during most social scenarios, my coping mechanism was to pick up the bottle. I'm proud to say I declined the urge on both occasions.

For now I'm feeling very optimistic. As long as I don't give in to peer pressure or anxiety, I think I'll be okay. I'm very grateful for this forum because even if I start to feel like I'm losing control, I know I have support. I appreciate all of you tremendously.

God, when I finally made it to a day 7, I was on top of the world. It felt so impossible for so long. Be very proud and keep up the amazing work. The physical benefits alone keep me sober, not to mention all the emotional and mental improvement. Slowly working on spiritual. Congrats
