All is good on Day 5. My long term drinking buddy arrives for the weekend tomorrow. I am resolute about not drinking and am going to sit her down when she arrives and explain outright that it isn't happening anymore and if she is a true friend she will not put any pressure on me at all. I think she won't fully understand, but will let me be.

Got a very funny article to cheer folks up, but need to have posted 15 times before I can include a URL, so will post it separately :-)

Well done on 5 days!!

And you are right, a true friend won't pressure you to drink.

Congratulations on Day 5! I think it's a great idea to be clear and honest with your friend. I was in a similar situation with a family member I used to drink with. He would visit once every six months or so. When he arrived I had planned a hike so we were busy and not drinking. At the end of the day he had a few but was too tired to drink too much. I hope everything works out well and that you wake up the next morning sober and refreshed!
