All is well

Wow lots of negative posts tonight. Thought I'd throw this one out there.
I missed celebrating my one week of being sober. Why? I forgot all about it!

I dropped the bottle a week ago (sunday,) dusted myself off and haven't looked back. Quitting was easy once I put my mind to it. I truly think that was the key. Only one rough day of withdrawal, that day was really bad.

I'm back to being me again. Driven, headstrong and motivated. The time I spent drinking was a joke. A total misrepresentation of who I am.

Just home from the company Christmas party. You know somehow I like being in those situations. Everyone around me drinking, slurring their words and falling all over the place, saying stuff they'll regret. Was I tempted, NO!

Reminds me what could have been if I kept drinking. Reminds me to stay strong. Reminds me that I'm so much better than that.

Thank you SR for helping me with the first step. I'll run from now on.
