1 Week Down

It's official, it's been 7 days since my last drink. I feel very good. Last night, my buddy and I went to a Sports Bar to watch the UFC fight  and he was surprised I wasn't ordering beer. I ordered water.  I opened up to him and told him my struggles with alcohol during this year alone. He was shocked because he always perceived me as some with complete control and responsible. I even confessed to him that I had driven at least 3 times to get more beer after drinking more than 12 beers. He was even more surprised. Before we had our dinner he prayed for the food and he told God thank you that I can be honest with him.  He told me he'll help keep me accountable. Btw, I did not have the urge to order a beer. I was more excited that the days of not drinking are going up and that my body is feeling better. I'm also experiencing a lot of mental clarity as a result.
