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!!
