Well, today is the three week mark. Tonight, I'm going to the Navy Club to sing karaoke with my family and a few friends. this is going to be a REAL challenge. I'm already kind of shaky. I'm going to try to sing without having a drink. I'm going to be nervous, I'll probably shake and sound terrible. But I'm going to prove that I can do it, at least one song, without being drunk. I have already decided that if I get too uncomfortable or the urge to drink gets too strong, I will leave. After this, I am supposed to go to a christmas party at a friends house, with a bunch of the people I used to drink with. The same applies. I am going to bring a container of juice with me so that I am not without a drink. Again, if the urge to drink gets too strong, I will leave. I am determined to not be debilitated by this, but to also respect my own limits and not push my self too far.
Wish me luck guys, and I let you know how it goes.
Thanks again, Downsolong, for posting these links to alternative rehabilitation groups. I hope everyone can find a support group that they are comofortable with.
Later!
