9th month

so far I've completed 9 months of being alcohol free.



2 weeks ago, I got to go on vacation to Hawaii, it was a blast. My family tagged along and we had a good time. They went beer tasting and it was awkward because I was the only on at beer tasting place that drank no beer, none what so ever. Not much I could've said because my family wanted to go. But I held up ok at least.



added bonus, I haven't had any cigarettes in 1 yr and 3 months to date as well.

Super! You should be really proud, but don't forget-It's just one day at a time! I almost start to forget it sometimes, and I think "How will I get through the next year without alcohol" and I need to be reminded of that very fact. I have 16 months and 3 days. Keep up the good work, and keep coming here, or where ever you feel supported.

congrats on the no drinking and smoking. Yes I too would go through family dinners where everyone was having a cocktail and then wine, with the cordial after the meal, and I'm drinking sparkling apple juice. You know, I don't care, it has just become the norm for me, and my family respects my choices. I also look out for speciality fruit drinks for holidays, something herbal, and different, it sort of gives me that bit of pizazz to my holidays as well.

Congrats on 9 months and living with all those temptations! Also, glad you also stopped smoking. I keep forgetting that people still smoke cancer sticks and glad you don't!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
