Almost drank this last weekend
 
Over the 3 day weekend, I poured a glass of wine Sunday evening, took a couple sips, did not like it, went inside and poured it down the sink. People around me, neighbors, family were having margaritas and beers and such, but I had diet soda and water. Almost drank....so glad I didn't...that could have turned out very badly! I just want to make an honest post here, hold myself accountable and share with others. I'm feeling much better without the alcohol and so much more productive!
I do, however, feel I am eating too many sweets....there is some type of party every weekend lately with cake. Yesterday and today, I worked out and drank lots of water. Healthy lifestyle is the ultimate goal, alcohol not included!

Congrats! I bet that took tremendous amounts of will power. I pray you don't have to rely on will power in the future. Get a plan and stick to it.

Bron,

It takes a year of triggers to sort of..see it all. Then it is rinse repaet.

I don't feel like I come here cause I am craving. I come here because this activity is positive in nature. Journaling and reading about something I am interested in.

Highly recommend an AA meeting if SR is just not enough.

The f2f w suffering addicts, like yourself, is sobering.

Thanks.
