Take this one day at a time. I am glad that you made it through day 1. Keep working hard, keeping busy and doing your best to stay away from it. Here for you!
I have lost many friends because of my drinking. However, by quitting drinking I was able to reconnectin with them and rebuilding those friendships we had and that i cherised so much!
To be honesty, staying clear from the drinks has really helped me maintain my friendships. I can control my actions and be the person I am and strive to be!
You can definitely cut back. You must set yourself a goal and stick to it. Take some of the suggestions that Samantha gave you and make it work for you! Take a stand and do what you need to do!
It sounds like you know exactly what you want, you can have all of those things! It takes a lot of work and commitment, but I think that you have what it takes to achieve your goals! Work through the program, read through the forums and post often.
I am so glad that things are slowly getting easier. You are finding out what works best for you. Do what is necessary to make this work! Check in soon to let me know how you are doing!
Interesting, I think I will let my friends that drink heavily about the theme of the month! It's hard because I hate to sound "preachy" but I will just let them know and they can do what they want with it.
I am really glad to hear that the weekend went fine. Do you do a lot of cooking? What types of things do you cook? You really deserve to feel rested, you really do.
My weekend was great, I find that it does get easier with each weekend. I have been doing well since my near slip at easter... Happy about that...
That is awesome! That you can take next to "nothing" and whip up a nice meal. That has happened to me a few times and I felt quite proud actually! What is your favourite thing to cook?
I have been thinking about how the summer is going to go.. this will be my first summer without alcohol in the past few years. The BBQs (which I ADORE) and get togethers will be a challenge at first I am sure of it. I think I will always make sure to bring lemonade with me so at least I'll have something tasty to drink. I think I will actually carry lemonade crystals on hand to make lemonade at any time any place.
You have pointed out some fabulous ideas! Wow, thank you so much for this post. Those are all great things, I especially liked hearing about you plopping down a game in front of your hubby. I think I will use this sneak-a-game strategy with my boyfriend. Besides games are tons of fun! My family is big on "game nights". It is a blast to get together and play games, eat some food and socialize. The competition can get pretty fierce, just as long as everyone plays fair we are good!
Thanks again,
I have also enjoyed watching documentaries as of late, they are so informative and interesting.
