I got 2 weeks!!!
Sooo happy to annouce that today is the 2 week AF mark for me!!! It is getting much easier every day. I do have times when I think it would be good to have just one little drink, but then I just get some tea or go do something for a little while and the feeling passes. Seems like maybe its just a feeling of missing something that was so familiar in my life and now its gone. Guess thats silly!! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and this year is special since it will be my first in many years sober. We had our Thanksgiving lunch here at work yesterday, and as usual I was mostly in charge- it came out really well, but man I was worn out when it was all over!!! Monday night when I was cooking for this thing is one of the times I felt like maybe I needed a drink, but I realized that it was just because I was stressing over the dinner, not that I really needed a drink. It seems like most every time I feel the urge there is usually something stressing me, and now I've gotten to where I can realize that and work my way thru it without a drink, then you feel a sense of pride every time that happens and it gives you strength to face the next time. Hope you all have something to be Thankful for and can look to the future knowing that YOU CAN DO THIS!!! It may take a few tries, but so did learning to ride a bike as well as may other things. Just keep moving toward your goal and pat yourself on the back with every step that you take in the right direction, and don't beat yourself up if things don't go as planned. Take care all!!!!!!
