Thanks, guys! I definitely have my "action plan" ready as to avoid succumbing to temptation which makes me feel much more confident going into the situation! I even got tested a bit tonight as someone who I usually go in halfway with buying pot offered to split some with me and although I was tempted, I simply said that I was broke from just paying all my bills (not even a lie haha)....knowing it was a possibility to get it was rough but I took a warm bath and magically it cured the desire! It's such a cool learning process for me to see how I can refrain from doing the things I'm so used to doing. Thanks again! I'm really appreciative of these forums and the sense of community

yes, fabulous job in resisting the temptation, MrsBee ! And good luck today with your family due. Have you worked out in your mind how you're going to meet those temptations today? If it gets too much, just excuse yourself for a few minutes and go for a short, brisk walk. It'll give you time to regain strength and focus. Let us know how you make out - we know you can do it ! Now it's your turn to answer the question : Can I do it ? Go For Victory ! Love yourself more than your old patterns !

Only eight more days to TWO months, Brazilian !!! You'll an inspiration to so many - keep it up, bud ! ps. had a great day yesterday and grateful for another clean day. I'm finding it rather easier this time because I'm SO damn determined to get this useless habit out of my life and fully regain my Life ! Even spoke with my pot dealer yesterday and he asked if I wanted some. I said NO, thanks - I'm taking a break. He asked Why and I said just because I felt it was good for me to do. Didn't want to get into No, Thanks, I'm NEVER going to touch that crap again ! Don't need to go into big explanations, especially with active users. Felt good to let him know and actually felt completely easy to walk away. Well, here's to another clean, healthy day ! I'm going to treat myself to a couple of new movies and Chinese food tonight - yummy yummy, can't wait !

Thanks everyone! I made it through again today without a hitch!!! My brother actually needed a haircut (and I cut hair) so when people started bugging me about not partaking I was like " okay time to leave and cut your hair!!!" Haha then went straight to meet my husband, who is also newly sober, after he got home from work. @happycampers I know you can make it/do it too!!!! If I can, anyone can! I've relied on these substances daily for close to 15 years! @brazilian amazing job and progress!!!!! We are all superstars!!!!!

Reading this thread has already really helped, just seeing that others have done the same and are succeeding is more encouraging than anything. I think I'm getting anxious because tomorrow I have a family event and some of my close family members will no doubt be partaking in both. I have a sober obligation later in the day which will hopefully keep me on the right track....I guess I'm just freaking out a bit because this is like my first real test....thus far I've just been keeping to myself, hanging out exclusively at home and the library. Hopefully I can stay strong!!!!
