Happy sober new year

I had made it 8 days sober, from December 21st to 29th.  I had traveled to visit my oldest and dearest friend from college.  I told her in the beginning that I was working on getting sober.  The second day there, I asked her for some wine.  She actually seemed relieved.  We drank wine and had a good time together.  However, I was reminded in the morning of why I need to be sober.  I felt terrible.  So, today is a new day.  Day 2 in my restart.  I am starting to post and connect with people on Daily Strength.  I have looked up meeting times and plan on going to a meeting this evening.  Evenings are the most difficult time for me.  That is when I enjoyed drinking the most.  Although I didn't make it up to midnight last night, I woke up at 5am feeling good, and ready to start my day.  I made a playlist on my iPhone of inspirational songs that may help me.  (Fight Song, Good to be Alive, I Can See Clearly Now, I Will Survive, Jar of Hearts, Keep Your Head Up, Sober, and Titanium). I love music and am looking forward to playing this list.

Ditto, similar story line. I began again yesterday after a four day dry run. Even getting through the four days was encouraging. The possibilities for a better future are good.

Best wishes & happy new year.
