11 days made it through the weekend
 

Just checking in to keep it real.

I reached 11 days today.. I am starting to feel the benefits. I am waking up in the morning and I feel so good no hangover..

I have told my wife I quit drinking and she really gave me a morale boost telling me I am much nicer and friendlier to her and the kids.

The kids are cuddling up to me and they havent done that in a long time.

I went out to dinner with my wife and some friends last saturday and I only had diet coke.... It was strange at first but after 30 min I didnt even notice the only thing was that I was drinking my cokes 2x faster that the rest was drinking their drinks. My friends new I had quit drinking so the atmosphere was really relaxed they did drink though.

So I am still on the right path and getting stronger every day.

This is the 2nd addiction I am batteling. I quit smoking 4 weeks ago. Stopped drinking 11 days ago.

The only thing to do now is to watch what I eat (250 pounds)....

Just to let you know I am still here ad fighting for my non alcoholic lifestyle

and for me to remember I am not normal so I cannot drink

Wow! Congratulations on your 11 days, that's fantastic!

Congrats Vinnie! I'm glad to hear that you let your wife know and that she's so supportive.

Good for you Vinnie!

And, it's great that your wife supports you.

That's a really upbeat post Vinnie - thanks! Gives us newbies a little hope. And as for giving up smoking as well - that's amazing. I wish I could manage that, but I can only do one thing at a time! Glad you're doing so well.
