Day 10! Double digits. This is longest I've stayed sober in a year. Entering the weekend is a bit scary, but knowing I have work commitments on both days, makes me feel better. It will keep me from sitting on the couch and getting "bored" aka...needing a drink.
I am very much looking forward to Wednesday, and hitting 14 days. I think that will be the longest sober stretch in probably 15 years.

Day 22 winding down and so am I! Two 30 minute walks with the dog today, something I am working into my daily routine.
Hugs right back at you JL!
Good night all, or for those of you insisting on starting the weekend early, stay safe and sober.

Slipped up today. :-(
Have stopped it now but slipped up all the same.
Day 1 tomorrow...last day of January. Hope you guys don't mind me staying in the January class. I will be one day sober heading into February.
I've slipped up a few times this month and you know what....I'm right onto it soon after I drink. In the past it would turn into a bender and months would go by but that doesn't seem to be happening now. I think the more I read my AA books the more my Higher Power is stepping in really questioning my motivations and my AV doesn't have a chance when my HP steps in. All I have to do now is get to the point where I don't cave into my AV at all. Please let tomorrow be my last Day 1 and I get to stay in this class with all of you wonderful people.

Mish definitely stay in our class. I would be sad if you left.
I'm in another class as well as this one, maybe you could do the same thing?
Hope everyone is going ok with the weekend. I'm feeling flat and a bit down, but I'm not intending to drink over it.

Mish, I slipped up last night too. Went out for dinner with hubby and another couple and despite promising myself I would stick with lime and soda I drank two glasses of wine. The old me would have done the whole bottle plus been sneaking nips from a vodka bottle in my handbag and have continued drinking when I got home. So I'm not beating myself up about it. I need to work on my plan though because I know from past experience it's all too easy to slip back into the 'I can handle a couple now and again' trap and before I know it I'm back to drinking in secret every day. Sigh...
