Seven Days

It has been seven days since my last drink/wakeup call binge. I have made it through Thanksgiving and Saturday college football (US).

We are also on vacation at the beach would normally mean much drinking - have not touched a drop. I took my daughter fishing instead of going to a beach bar/restaurant and drinking.

Feeling great not having hangovers and empowered on rebuilding my life. It feels great to be clear headed and being in the present.

Some of the things I did to cope where to start drinking tea and sparkling water if I felt a need to have something in my hand. Lots of walking and taking the dogs to the dog park. Going to bed early - I am catching up on 25 years of lost sleep .

Most importantly I checked in to SR every day to read, post, and get inspired.

We can do this people.

Nice on Iron Phoenix - that's some going with the beach holiday and holiday season for you also.

Sparkling water has become my new favourite tipple also.

One week is really fantastic. You look at the number of 7 days and maybe think, "oh it is not that big of a number" but when you are talking about tackling a problem like this it is HUGE! A lot of us know from experience!
Congratulations, enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Congrats on day seven. I also drink alot of water to rejuvenate my skin from all the alcohol and cigarette abuse. The gym has been good to me also. It helps with sobriety.
