10 Days Today
 
Yes, Double-Digits. Feels good. Not too long ago, I was writing on here about drinking too much vodka and sometimes vanilla extract. Seems like a long time ago now. I know that I could be back there tonight if I slipped and that is why I'm not going to. I am taking it day by day to the most minute proportion. If I get a craving (which are getting much better by the way), I just focus on not drinking for that particular moment, even if it is one breath. Thats it. I have the long-term goal to never drink and I break it down into manageable bites.

Keep going!

Melberholltz,
yes I remember you posting about drinking vanilla extract at that time I was on the lookout for vanilla extract and paid close attention to the labels after reading your post. I am buying the pods.
Good for you on the 10 days a great effort.
Love

Oh my gosh, how happy I am for you. I also remember your past post and are happy that you are doing better. The longer you keep away from the booze and keep it out of your system, the stronger you feel. 10 days is great! Keep it up and I hope you are reaching out for support because that helps too..
