A Gift of Champagne
 

Yesterday I managed to get through my family's Christmas dinner without accepting any of the frequently offered champagne. Despite fleeting thoughts of 'one glass' won't hurt... in my heart I knew differently. I am only on day 7 and the physical discomfort of the first four days is still fresh in my memory. I knew I didn't want to go thru that again. Unfortunately, one of the gifts that was sent home with me was a bottle of champagne. As soon as I got home I put the bottle in the garage with the idea of taking it to another function I am going to on Sunday. Despite all my resolve that this time is 'it'.... that bottle has been calling out to me all day. I have been in a total funk. I am still in jammies and have done nothing but sleep and eat all day.

Thankfully I came here and started reading posts. I am so grateful I found this site. The bottle is open now, and drained down the kitchen sink! What a relief. I hate the thought of the waste, but frankly I am not sure I would have lasted another day.

To the former addicts class of December '08!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome, way to take control of a tricky situation! You should be very proud. I imagine I would have felt the same way... it was such a good choice to pour it out. YAY!

Better to waste the champange than "get wasted". LOL. Way to go!:c014:

Thats awesome..Be proud of that for sure.
Keep it up.

Great job! I wondered where this thread was going to lead when I read the title. Love happy endings!! :)

Well Done on getting through your Family Christmas and getting rid of the Champagne yourself.

Good for you! Excellent choice! And really, didn't it make you feel damn good about yourself?!

Great Job!!

woohoo! that is HARD to do!

Thanks everyone. I do feel really good about staying strong today. I just got back from doing some shopping and some other errands to get me out of the house. I rented some movies and am going to enjoy the rest of my 7th sober day! woo hoo!
