On a promise....
 

Day 6 and Friday night. Work people on a night out and I went quickly and then left...no drinks. Girl is texting me during the night drinking and wanted me to pick her up (with shannanigans to follow) provided i had 1 drink so she didn't feel so bad....

Texted her back and told her...no drinks for me devil woman.....

Can't imagine what would have happened if I went and drank like usual, what would have happened in front of others and what the Weekend remorse would feel like....Then the Monday morning....all the paranoia....

phew....disaster averted!

Isnt it amazing, looking in at these antics, how insane our behavior used to be? And waking up in the morning, no hangover, no shame or regret?
It is such a blessing to out that stuff behind us. Congratulations to you on 6 days and to not been led back to it.

Thx...the thought of just 1 drink crossed my mind given what was on the line but even if I kept to 1 drink this time I know it would only be a matter of time before the next uncontrollable binge and blackout....

That sure was a test akin to the garden of Eden, huh? I'm female, and we know how to get our way, usually. Hopefully you gained some sober strength from that :scoregood

Yep feel really strong right now....missed a good time but gained a lot more than that....plus good to be a male and play hard to get for once....haha

Great that you thought ahead. I sometimes just react and if I did what you did I would be much better off.

Congrats on day 6!

Yeah but the thought of being strong forever still seems out of reach and a pipe dream but I know I have to.....not so hard when last weeks bender still burns....will be harder when it is a distant memory...
