1 MONTH SOBER TODAY!!!!

Hey there, I am officially one month sober today and will be picking up my one month chip at AA tonight!!! Yup, not a single drop in this mouth in a month!!!! The craving is gone for the most part and I sure feel a lot better, both mentally and physically!!! In addition to my sobriety, tomorrow is my 54th birthday and I am celebrating by going out to Red Lobster for dinner after attending a WLS support group meeting in the afternoon! Sunday I am going over to my daughter's house and she is having the family over to celebrate mine and my grandaughter's birthday (she'll be three)! So, it should be a fun-filled, alcohol-free, weekend! And no snow in the forecast! Thank you again for all your support! I know I sound upbeat, and I am, but I also know I am still walking a fine line.....one day at a time. Ya'll have a great weekend! Huglets, Karen

Bravo! Have a great weekend!

Happy birthday! and ((( Hugs ))) for your 30 days. Hugs, Mo

Thanks, everyone! My weekend was enjoyable except....it DID snow Sunday and then we had freezing rain on top of that, but we still celebrated the birthdays! The rest of my family doesn't know about my problems with alcohol (or so I think they don't ). We drunks don't think anyone knows...but they usually are very aware of it! I have met four other WLSers in my AA meetings so far. Due to the weather, I wasn't able to attend AA last night but I'm going tonight, for sure. I am trying so hard not to go back to eating now that I am not drinking. I saw Oprah's show with Bob Green's new book and was impressed with his new eating program. I thought I might share some of his ideas. I will post it in a new post so others don't miss it in case no one reads this one again. Karen
