day 5!
 
Alcohol doesn't even sound that good anymore. Went for a girls night, told my friends I quit drinking and told them all the reasons why, got nothing but support and "oh yeah, my dad struggled with that too, " and all was fine. We went rock climbing and that was a blast then went out for Mexican food. No one ordered alcohol and I don't know if it was because of me or not but knowing my friends, it probably had more to do with them wanting to not spending a ton of money on restaurant alcoholic drinks lol. I wasn't sure how I would do sitting around people drinking but I was confident that id be fine. Didn't have to face that tonight so that's good. My husband has a couple drinks every night and it hasn't bothered me at all. I just make sure I have plenty of non alcoholic drinks to chose from at night. I use essential oils, Epsom salt baths and Natural Calm magnesium drink at night to help relax me and ease into sleep.

Yay! I'm on day 6 now too. Really don't think I cud go out with friends who are drinking and having issues over my boyfriend drinking @ me. He is beginning to understand now. I pointed out to him that I don't smoke @ him and he's not even an addict or asthmatic. Good for u! I was just glad to get through day 5. Day 6 and feeling great. Let's keep it up.
