Well today is Day 87! It has been easy and hard to make it to this point. Yesterday I had to go to a bridal shower, and it was at an Italian restaurant. That was the most significant craving I have had in quite a while. They had beautiful wine glasses at each place setting, and they came around and asked what wine you would like to drink. UGH! I am very thankful that I was sitting with my friend that knows that I am not drinking for at least 100 days because I am not sure I would have made it through the event without getting a glass of red. This morning, I was very thankful that I did not have any since I was able to take another sticky note off my wall and am now on day 87. Did not need to start over and not keep my promise to myself. I actually do feel good overall, and I am very happy to not wake up to a bloated face every morning. I also do not miss the red wine lipstick on my lips each morning. I will have 3 months on Thursday, and I have not decided what I am going to do for my treat for making it to 3 months. Thats a long time to not have had a drink. I do know that my treat will not be a drink. My next goal is to make it to my groups 100th day. There is a group of women who started a 100-day challenge, and it ends on September 9th. That would be an entire summer of not having alcohol if I make it through. I would be at 164 days alcohol free. That is a lot of days! For the most part I do not think about it to much anymore. I have my go to drinks that I have now instead of reaching for wine each night but somedays boy do I still miss it. I have been cigarette free for almost 25 years, and I never think about having a cigarette. I have not thought about it it at least 15 years so hopefully it will get like that with alcohol.
Here's to an alcohol-free summer!!
