Rewarding myself
Posted On 08/14/2008 17:41:04 by hoofie

Well I made it a week without getting drunk. I had a glass of wine at Chili's... Saturday? I was pissed at nothing, but that's no excuse. Didn't get drunk though, so I'm still counting last Friday as my "sobriety date".

Since I made it a week though, I've decided to get my eyebrow re-pierced and if the artist has time, I'm going to get my tattoo touched up.

I'm really excited. My new phone also has a "D-Day counter" on it (weird name, but meh) so I can put a count-up since my sobriety date on it. Now every time I look at my phone I see, not only my boyfriend's face, I see D+6. Tomorrow it will say D+7, and it'll be a week. I haven't been to an AA meeting recently, but I haven't felt like I've needed it for some reason.

Maybe I can make it without AA. However, I am not adverse to going back if I feel like I need to.

Piercing number 12 in 26 hours! =D

Dinnertime now. Adios.

Well done on your week in sobriety.  Its a life change, not just 'not drinking', thats how we keep sober, by changing our lives and our hearts.  Are you working the steps?  I feel that is the key, to find your higher power.  But, well done on doing a week, if you want to make it many more weeks keep coming here and gain experience and support from others x

I know I can't drink at all, I'm just glad I managed to stop myself after the one glass. I don't intend on making it a habit to think that I can just have one, because I know I can't. I just consider it a "slip".

Angie said it. But then you might not be an alcoholic - yet...
Take care,

A drink is a drink even if you didn't get drunk. You must abstain from ALL drugs in order to recover, and alcohol IS a DRUG! I tried working my program, my self will, and it got me f**ked up every time! Can't do it ALONE, and I'm grateful for Alcoholics Anonymous! Take care
