Hi Turquoise, it's very good that your weekend plan worked well, it seems you really had a moderate drinking patterned weekend:) which is inspiring for me.
Today I spent a very productive day at work after a sober night. As planned, I ate something just before I came home not to feel hungry which is a very big trap makes me feel like drinking beer. I like beer when hungry and cant eat anything while drinking. And the opposite is true, I cant drink when my stomach is full. I somehow gave up trying to control my eating for 3 days, since I realized that it is impossible for me to control both eating, drinking and smoking at the sametime. The good news is I dont smoke when I dont drink. I smoked only 5 in 48 hours which is very good for me. I think I can quit smoking very easily if I can stay sober.
Night 2: I ate dinner, I slept my daughter and I worked on my start up project and now off to bed for reading which is my dearest hobby I cant live without.
My husband is going on a business trip tomorrow, which is something risky for me that I love dirinking when alone at night. I will think about it tomorrow.
Camiol, I'm thinking about your plans to talk with your husband all the time, since my marriage is nearly the same with yours. You are a very strong women that can face to living as a single mom, which is something scares me a lot.
I was in a conference last week to listen some keynote speakers which are more or less role models in my business area. The common thing they said was: you can never achive or invent anything if you dont leave your comfort zone. I will first try my chance to leave my permanent job for the start up project I'm working on to kick myself out from my comfort zone. And secondly I will be working on my marriage...
Goodluck everybody and think about your comfort zones that you wanna challenge in the near future..
Looking fw to hear from all Mogas and Sogas...
