Sounds like a good plan!
We are all in the same boat...when one of us succeeds, we all succeed. I know I can't do this alone and having the encouragement and support of other addicts is invaluable.
Stay close and don't pick up today.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Just came back to check on my classmates - you all are awesome. We can do this.
You all are an inspiration and reading all this gives me strength.
Out to dinner tonight with husband and friends. They all drink. I am strong and can keep true to myself. I have a plan and I am in this for the long haul.
Thank you everyone.

Though, on a positive note I said no to the second glass. The red alarm bells were ringing..NO!! I woke this morning hangover free, but very disappointed in myself. But, I have to be accountable. This isn't a game for me anymore. So, what I learned from this is that I have to be upfront with my in-laws next time we go for dinner and tell them right off the bat that I'm not drinking.
Welcome to all of the newcomers.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. Thanks for the support.

I just say no thank you
Do you have any /water/juice/cola/soda/tea/coffee...can be a nice diffusing follow up line too.
It got a lot easier when I realised very few people care what, or if, I drink. I thought everyone else was fixated on drinking like I was but it's not so.
Welcome back Classy - good for you for stopping it there

It's funny the things we have time to think about now that drinking isn't goal #1....hmm...say, like....OTHER people!!!! My drinking made me incredibly selfish...duh!! I even knew I was selfish when I was drinking, but panicked at the thought of having to alter my drinking routine in order to be a little less selfish! It's a wonder anyone has anything to do with me anymore. Seriously. I thank God I chose to quit before I ruined every relationship I have.
Just one more thing to be thankful for.
Hope everyone's doing great and having a wonderful and sober Saturday evening.

Aww, kitty! I hope you feel better soon! 
glad you're here!
Hi Denise! Yay for you on 15 days!!
Isn't it neat how doing something peaceful and relaxing just feels like such a reward nowadays?! I created such chaos in my life while drinking....never again.

Kittycat- I hope you get to feeling better. I haven't been doing anything but running around shopping with my husband and playing on my tablet and reading magazines and books.
Denise- That's great your doing so well ...congrats on 15 days.
