    Small Victories

    Yesterday I posted that I was on day 6 AF and was going to a neighborhood party and that I was worried that everyone would notice that I was not drinking and that it would be an issue.
    I know that some of them noticed but nobody said anything. I had SO much fun and it was nice to have a clear head to hold conversations. I was worried that I would not think of anything to say and that I would be boring.
    I had NO desire to drink (thank gawd) and at first felt a little awkward but I had a fantastic time. For the first time in my life I did not feel like I was missing out on something. I hope the feeling lasts.
    I am on day 7 which is a record for me. It dawned on me this morning that I have been drinking steadily for the past 25 years, that is over half my life!
    Gosh I feel so powerful today. No guilt. No hangover. Amen.

          Thanks everyone for the encouragement and kind words.
          I wanted to make this post to give hope those who may be like me. Afraid that they will not have any fun, feel left out, etc. if they are not drinking.
          Sh!t, if I can do it, anyone can.
          xxoo
