Good morning class of March! 
Day 15 for me, and feeling really good. Lot's of craziness around me, but taking it all in stride. In the past, I've allowed things to really get to me, but I am actively practicing detachment (particularly to situations) and with each new "incident", I become a bit stronger.
Wishing each and every one of you a little peace today.

I was supposed to go to the movies with my best friend tomorrow, but I am sure she will want to get drunk (she has a problem as well but isn't ready to deal with it.) Even though I feel bad breaking these plans, I am sure she will have fun drinking with someone else and I will be much happier (and safer) staying at home away from any temptation.
Does anyone have any one have any ideas or suggestions on the types of plans I can make with my best friend that can guarantee alcohol isn't present? Please keep in mind that she has a drinking problem, so places like the movies, the zoo, restaurants, etc. where alcohol is at all available she will take advantage of the situation.
Thanks everyone! I hope you all are having a great Wednesday!

As we all know, if we want to get drunk, we can get drunk anywhere.
If she doesn't drink in the AM, could you do something in the morning or early afternoon? Perhaps breakfast, farmer's market, or morning hike?

MVNGON- Congrats on 15 days! That is great!
Day 4 for me. Doing good as far as not drinking. Anxiety still eating me alive. I also have the most awful cold. I cant even breath out of nose. So I am just laying around.

I will NOT drink to that!

I'm still going strong!! It almost feels like alcohol is a distant memory, but then I got reminded last weekend when my AV started talking to me. It was a good reminder that my AV can mess with me at any time & I have to be ready for it. What was crazy was that I even entertained drinking for "just one night", it was for a split second but I almost agreed to it! Then I remembered the weight I lost (20lbs to date), how my face isn't bloated anymore, my fingers are back to normal....Man, that was close!

Hi all. I've been on a training course today and I got home fairly early this afternoon. It's weird but I feel no compulsion to drink during the week now, but the weekends are a different matter. Last weekend I pretty much lived on SR, and it helped so much.
Day 10 here, and going strong. Long may it last.
I am however eating chocolate as though my life depends on it and feel slow and sluggish. One thing at a time I guess!

Jeni, you said it: One thing at a time! Eat that chocolate if it stops you from drinking. The first month I stopped drinking I was baking cookies 2 or 3 times a week! My sugar cravings were that bad. It has now tapered off at 4.5 months, but I still crave sweets every now & then.
