Made it through my 1st week & a camping trip
One week ago today was the last time I've drank any alcohol. So far so good but I think the rocky part is definitely ahead of me.
And my boyfriend and I went on a camping trip Mon-Wed and, after much internal debate, I went ahead and brought some O'Douls with me and brought real beer for him. I drank 3 of the O'Douls and didn't crave the real beer and it didn't bother me that he drank in front of me.
He wasn't aware I was quitting - I basically told him when we got there. He said he felt bad for drinking in front of me but I said he shouldn't - that this is my decision for me and he makes his own decisions for himself and that if it really bothered me I'd let him know. I can't expect him to change just because I need to - especially since he's the type that can have 2 or 3 beers and call it a night. If anything my quitting will be good for him too cause I can be an enabler.

Well done, Haligh, on accepting that personal test, and acing it! I am coming up on a month sober, but I have refused going on the fall fishing trip this year. I hope I feel that I can handle the spring trip and remain sober.
Keep it up!
Keep it up!

Unfortunately I don't have a real plan - just to try to remain strong, take it one day at a time and constantly remind myself WHY I stopped.
I quit smoking cigs on July 5th and I'm having the worst cigarette cravings now that I'm not drinking which is funny because I only smoked when I drank.
