Fortunately I had to volunteer down at the Distress Centre last evening, so I had reason not to drink, so I just hibernated in my room until it was time to leave. But it didn't help that the entire apartment smelt like Apple Vodka.
Congrats on Day 12! As I wrote to greentires, it's extremely inconsiderate to create an atmosphere which threatens someone elses' attempts to stay sober. At twelve days, you did a fantastic job of fighting the urge. That's a big victory for you! Since your housemate stayed home just to drink, it sounds like she might have a problem, too. If this continues, & your finances allow, I'd seriously consider changing your living situation. Keep on with the great resolve!
Thanks for this!
