Day 8 is so much better than day 7!
Yesterday was pretty crappy. Not tempted to drink but feeling depressed about all that I was missing out on.
Today I feel great!! I have a wicked headache and a crick in my neck BUT I feel very excited about the day and the weekend.
July 4th weekend without alcohol... I would have never guessed that I could face that and be happy!!!
Over the last week I have been all over the place emotionally. I have had moments of excitement over my new found freedom but while I was all bummed out yesterday I was afraid those feeling wouldn't come back. I kept reminding myself "this too shall pass."
Tonight I'm going to a wedding. I'm not worried about drinking and even more amazing - I think it will be fun.

The couple getting married are some of my "foodie" friends. On several occasions they have seen me drink WAY too much wine at dinner. Who knows what embarrassing things I did in front of them.
For months I have been afraid of getting wasted at their wedding. I kept trying to come up with a "plan" on how to moderate.
I have to wonder if they worried about me getting smashed before they invited me? I'm excited that I won't embarrass them tonight!

I wish I made it to day 8. One day short. That is awesome! This weekend will be hard for a lot of us. But, you made it this far do not look back! Eat some burgers and hotdogs, enjoy the moment sober! It will be a good time and you will be so much happier tomorrow morning. Eat the potato salad and enjoy the weather! I am here for you, no matter what advice I do not follow myself! Day one again for me, but use me as a case and point, I wish i was in your shoes. Godbless.
