Today is officially 3 weeks. I tested myself with a wlak down the wine aisle. I even picked up a few boottles, but had no urge to take any home! I am hapily bakimg and crocheting instead of destroying my progress. Yay me!

Congratulations on 21 days, though I was tested very early on in my recovery I wouldnāt recommend testing yourself but itās your journey and I wish you well

Thatās amazing! Congrats on a fantastic achievement, so happy for you that you feel so free now! Make sure you make a note of feelings like this and how you felt and thought today so you can go back to your notes and remind yourself if you find yourself struggling at some point in the future

Congratulations on your 3 weeks! Thatās amazing progress. However, I would highly highly recommend against doing the wine isle ātestā again. Drinking at home used to be my thing, so I used to spend loads of time in supermarkets staring at wines and to try and pick one. Iād tell myself I deserved a nice glass of wine with dinner. Of course, the nice glass turned into a bottle and the bottle would turn into 3.
Nowadays I avoid the drinks section unless they have the soft drinks and waters on the same isle, some places do. I donāt linger around them. I donāt spend time picking up bottles to see if Iām tempted. I already know Iām tempted.

A huge congrats on your 3 weeks 
.love that you are doing well and enjoying a sober life 
. Great work on not getting urges but that is one hell of a test. I am going on 23+ months and wouldnāt do that to myself. Even if you donāt get triggered in the moment the mind can be funny and replay that moment as a āhuh ā¦were we supposed to want that? Oooh yeah I do want someāā¦then the urges could hit hard
No need to add stress or triggers to our journey (believe me- we will have plenty to work through without any help).
You are doing greatā¦ keep rocking this momentum

Congratulations on 3 weeks!
Out of curiosity, why test yourself? Especially in early sobriety. Thankfully you passed the test this time, but what if you didnāt? Iām sure youād feel awful today and who knows if it would have stopped there. Itās easier to stay sober than it is to get sober. Avoid putting yourself in situations that could lead to regret later.
