I am very happy to say this morning that I survived Halloween SOBER and I am now on Day 4!

Halloween is one of my long time favorite holidays, of course always surrounded by cocktails but this year I did it. I did not have one drink! This is a small goal but a goal none the less ;)

I am officially on day 4 today, and I am adamant that today shall be a sober day as well.

Who else survived the night?

Congrats! Not a small goal at all, the early days can be the most challenging and you're doing great!

I also survived Halloween, staying home to watch college football, the World Series and passing out candy to the local kids. Looking forward to celebrating 90 days this Wednesday.

Good job! I had hubs take daughter trick or treating with the in laws. I showered, put jammies on, turned all the lights off to hide from the trick or treaters and ate the bowl of candy watching hallmark movies in bed with my two kitties who never get to spend quality time with me anymore. Glamorous, I know. Don't be jealous. Hahahaha! Technically, I wasn't supposed to be home anyway. I haven't felt like being social lately.

Congrats on getting through Halloween everyone!

I went to a bar to see bands with my boyfriend dressed as a secret service agent to my Donald Trump. I had three nonalcoholic beers while everyone around me was drinking,

At a certain point in the night I noticed that thing drunk people were saying were ceasing to make sense to me, but as long as I nodded and smiled I got through it.

Before that we handled out candy to the kids. Gosh were they cute.

NVR, congrats. These "holidays" can be tough. When you get a year, you'll know that no day can be tempting enough to drink.

Until then, keep going one day at a time.
