I'm on day 6 of..... something. Stopping all together? Limiting? I still don't know. At this point, I feel it's safer to NOT drink since I've tried 50,000 times to "slow down".
Day 6 and I still feel ok with things. I've had a few moments of wanting to drink, but have reminded myself of all the many, many , many reasons not to. However, yesterday on the phone, my sister-in-law was talking about a gathering this coming weekend and said, we should have a few drinks of.... I hesitated and then said, yeah, maybe. I'm not ready to tell people of my choice - not sure why. There is also a gathering on Saturday where I know people will be drinking. It won't be to access, given the party, but still..... people who know me will except me to have some drinks. Not that they would care if I don't, but it will seem strange to me. I would LOVE to get through this weekend without drinking. I would love to say on Monday, that I'm on Day 10 of whatever this is. I'm feeling good right now that I can. It's just hard when it comes to social situations / family / gatherings.
Here's to strength and resolve and making the right decisions for me and for whatever this journey of mine is.....
