I made it yesterday ya'll. I stayed sober the entire day. They were all drinking. They had the vodka, beer and wine going around at the parade. Two of my friends were plastered the rest were feeling quite good. A few times i said, thats it i'm getting a beer. But, Dave stopped me and talked me onto another topic and got it out of my head for the time being. After a bit, when he saw it was really getting to me, he stopped drinking to. Today is 25 days.

I posted some pics from yesterday at the parade in photos if ya'll want to see.

Thank you all so much for supporting and encouraging me. I'm sending you all a crap load of ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))!!!!!

That's awesome chalm. Way to go, especially with everyone else around you drinking. That's a really big accomplishment.

Thank you (((((guys and gals))))))))))) so much!!!!

My next goal is to reach another 30 days. I had to put that ticker thing on under my signature here, cause i kept forgetting how many days it was.

I had the best pic to post here today too. The plumber came out with that huge truck to suck out all the sewerage under the house and wash out the pipes. While that was going on he was sitting back in a lawn chair and his head was bobbing back and down, back and down. I got a pic of him, at least i thought i did. Then i woke him up and offered him a cold drink. He told me he was out late last night drinking at the parades and cant get rid of his headache from the hangover he had. Man i wish i had that pic. Thats one thing i dont miss those hangovers and headaches.
