i cant believe i said no!

I've had the absolute worst day. I'm sad,mad and completley stressed out. Perfect time for a drink!

My neighbors saw I was having a tough time and came over to offer me vodka.....and I said no! :-) I'm now laying in bed feeling so proud of myself.

Just wanted to share.

You are stronger than you realize! Awesome choice you made! Just for today, don't pick up a drink. Maybe start a journal to vent your feelings....

Love & hugs,
