Sara,
I think you did great. You only two drinks, to me that would be success. I also understand why you would feel bad for choosing the wring reason or moment to drink, still, having only two drinks is something good, especially because you had the opportunity to have another one when you went to the restaurant and you chose not to!!
By the way, I agree with Sunbeam that we shouldnt be rewarding ourselves with drinks, but atbthe same time I would be very happy after a estressful day to be able to have a glass of wine to relax while I take a bath or I talk to my hubby. I think the idea is ok if that glass wasnt followed by rest of the botle!! The problem is that I am still learning to control myself and I am not there yet so I have to first learn to stick to special and social occasions before I attempt to have that glass by myself (maybe I will never be able to that)
Letgo and Eve, im glad you are doing great.It really is an amazing feeling knowing you are in control!
We celebrated valentine's last night as our nany couldnt come tonight. We went to a very nice restaurant. I had a glass of champaigne as we waited for our table (it hasnt part of the plan) and then we shared a botle of wine. I had two glasses and was actually able to tell him "no, thank you" when he tried to pour more after my second glass. I know I said that I was only having two for valentine's, but it didnt feel bad. We were enjoying our night out, we had great food, and for some weird reason I didnt feel the urge of having more after we left the restaurant.
It is pretty cold here in Miami (for our standards), 60 degrees now, but sunny and beautiful so I think we are going to get our bikes and have some fun with the kids!
Happy Valentine's everyone!!
