I know I am also hungry so maybe if I have a protein shake before we meet that will help.
Any words of support would be much appreciated. It's my birthday week. I knew this would happen. I've been feeling so strong up until this point too.

Can you call your friend now to let her know that you would like to go somewhere that doesn't serve alcohol; they way you could put your mind at ease now.
And, yes, have that protein shake, too!!!!

That being said you CAN get to bed sober tonight. Remember day 1? You got through that. Remember day 2? You got thought that too. Today is just one day. Maybe thinking of it that way will take some power out of the craving.
Stay close SFL weve got your back

Hi 👋
Cross roads ahead with route to take I don't know yet ....
24 more please
I didn't write this but it rings to me....
But change is not a bolt of lightning that arrives with a zap. It is a bridge built brick by brick, every day, with sweat and humility and slips. It is hard work, and slow work, but it can be thrilling to watch it take shape. I believed I could not quit drinking, that people would not like me sober, that life would be drained of its color — but every ounce of that was untrue. Which made me wonder what else I believed that was untrue. What other impossible feats were within my grasp.” LOVE being sober .

An PhoenixJ, what is a Six-Layer, Chocolate Sprinkle Cake, you ask?????
It’s a 6-layer moist chocolate cake, filled with vanilla birthday cake whipped cream filling, covered in malted Belgian chocolate frosting, then covered with a medley of sprinkles and such. So decadent!
