Saturday night and still sober! Yay!
So it's the weekend, and I have been worried about using the weekend to drink again. I can say I am still sober right now at 10pm saturday night when normally I would be sitting here drunk by this time. I just got back from olive garden where I was fantasizing about a mixed drink of some kind. The waiter came to the table with a bottle of wine to offer us, but we chose to drink raspberry lemonade instead. Of course I was picturing myself drinking a couple glasses, but decided to remain strong. After we left I was really wanting to stop and get liquor but I kept quiet and didnt say anything about it, and I was glad when we made it home without and alcohol. This is hard for me because I have been drinking damn near everyday for 5 years. I could and can easily wake up in the morning, brush my teeth, open a bottle of wine and get my day started like I was having a cup of coffee or something. I am proud of myself for not drinking but am still scared that I might slip up. Thank God in the state of Ga we can't buy alcohol on Sunday unless its at a bar or restaurant, and I don't plan on going out so guess I am safe for now

Dear Campy,
This may not make a lot of sense to you right now but being scared is your best protection right now! Stay on guard as alcohol is a sneaky enemy and will pounce on you at any sign of weakness. Stay strong and talk about what you going through, or write about what you going through. It will give you even more strength! Feel free to call on me if you need to. Your friend, Eric
Thank you for being there Eric
