One week sober!!
Hi all,
I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for making this possible!! I have not gone one full week without a drink and cigarette in about a year!!! I may not post most (mostly b/c when I try on my Kindle it changes the words to another language??) but, I'm on here constantly reading every chance that I get! The difference between this time and other times that I've tried to quit is attitude! I'm excited this time to let go of the drinking that "filled a void" and find myself.
I quit smoking and drinking at the same time b/c I can't do one without the other. I thought that I'd have a hard time with the smokes, but, it's been really easy since I am not drinking. I used to think that my problem was the cigs and I was always looking for a way to quit, but, I never could as long as I was drinking. Now I am realizing that it wasn't the cigarettes, my problem was the alcohol!!
My husband, although not the most supportive person b/c he too is a "functioning alcoholic", has not tried to influence my decision to drink, yet. I'm hoping that he sees a change in me for the better and will continue to support my decision!!
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just wanted to let you all know how truly grateful I am for being here as a way of support!!!!!

Congrats! You are very brave and strong willed for being able to quitting with alcohol around.
I hope he doesn't try to influence you. If he does, what's your plan to NOT drink? Can you just tell him you quit and be ok?
