SteelyStan-how sweet it is
Don’t you feel really good becase you have done something just for yourself (turning down the drinks) rather than give in to the temptations heaped unpon you by your ‘friends’? Keep it up. (You can smile to yourself everytime you think of how well you’ve done, and no one has to know anything about it. Liken it to a private joke.) PS I’m not so much into the coca cola but I bought a pound of really good coffee at ‘Second Cup’ and I use a sweetener and 18% cream. The coffee tastes wonderful. The caffine comes in handy too. No lazy days here. I do make a point of not drinking the coffee in the evening though, because it is great to have a good sleep which in turn makes you feel great when you wake up and you are emotionally ready to face the day. I thank God every morning for giving me the gift of another day and I do not want to do anything that leads to missing out or messing up a moment of it. Congratulations and keep accumulating those coke tins. d

Itsmebrento-
Night 2, might have been a tough one. Harder to fall asleep without ‘the crutch’. Hopefully by day 5, you wont even be thinking about how much time you have invested or how much you would enjoy a drink. I am into my second week and moving this weekend. I have been so busy sorting and packing that by the time I go to bed, I am totally exhausted. The up side is that I have had so many things on my mind, (and my mind is soooo clear) that having that glass of wine, hasn’t even hit the radar of my ‘to do list’. I haven’t even forgotten where I put things or worse, lost them altogether. Perhaps you could find a project of some kind, any kind, just to keep you busy for a few days. The sense of accomplishment for not drinking and getting a project completed, is a high in itself. Go for it. I’ll be really busy for the next few days and maybe wont have my computer up and running, but please keep me posted on you road to victory. Diane

It has been 1 week already since my last ‘glass of wine’. I am staying strong. Life is good, very, very good.
