Dry since December

I haven't had a drink since December 5, 8:00. No one thinks it's a big deal, but for me . . . it is hugh!!! Just thought I'd put that out there. I do find that I do other things more, but as long as I don't drink, I feel that I am accomplishing something.

Hi Madisonmouse, Congrates on not drinking and it IS A HUGE deal! Not sure why others would act as though it's not, unless it's your friends who miss you partying with you.

If you consider yourself an alcoholic, or had problems due to booze in your life, then truly this is a wonderful achievement. It isn't an easy thing for people with alcohol troubles in there life to put down the bottle, so good for you! Keep giving yourself credit, even if others aren't right now.

Not drinking in our 24 hour day is accomplishing MUCH! WTG!

Big Hug,
Karen
