So today marks day 11 for me, I have now gone 10 full days without having a single sip of alcohol. I cannot remember the last time I could say that. In some ways, it really has not been that difficult. I feel pretty good. I have been jogging, cleaning my house, hanging out with my family, and can actually a remember all of it! I feel quite a sense of accomplishment.

But, I have been trying to fight off the nagging little voice in my brain that tells me I have earned a drink (or two, or ten). That little voice that was telling me when my dh was gone for the evening this weekend that I had a good opportunity to drink, just this once (or twice or whatever). I have not had any serious cravings, I just feel so energetic because I have not been hungover, and I am really enjoying that.

I just wish that little damn voice in my head would go away! I keep telling myself to just get through today, not that I will never drink again, maybe that will satisfy that voice? I can silence that voice one day at a time, right?

Yes, you can silence that voice.....one day at a time or even one minute at a time if that is what it takes. Congrats on day 10.....just tell the little voice to shut up and keep moving forward.

One moment at a time sometimes Are you doing some recovery work (meetings, counseling, etc)? I saw a counselor often for a long time and it really helped me.
