I made it!
 
I made it through a coworkers baby shower and my boyfriend's company Christmas party withough a drop of alcohol! I am so excited and thrilled!

I actually felt bad for the mom to be because everyone was drinking and she could not drink. I stuck to iced coffee.

People were getting smashed at the Christmas party and I have a lot on
video tape to remind myself why I no longer drink. I even told a couple of friends that I haven't seen in a long time that I quit drinking. They commented on how great I look and told me how impressive it was for me to stop drinking. I even had great conversations with people last night. I stuck to diet coke.

If I could get through last night, I can get through the holidays with my family.

Yey patty! More often than not it's actually really enjoyable to have a sober conversation, isn't it?!
