I hit 22 days today and that’s the longest I’ve gone in 2yrs. I went to a detox to help me with the first 14 days and I was feeling great up until last night. That demon creeped into my brain telling me it won’t hurt to drink one piña colada that they give me at the nail shop. Needless to say, I’m going to have to find another nail shop now bc the temptation is just too much for me today. I hate this disease.

Good for you! Setting boundaries is important. Do you have some people you can call for support? I find that helps me.
Don’t give up. It’s one day at a time

Yes, I got 10 numbers at the women’s meeting I went to the other day. I texted all 10 and 8 responded within minutes! One called and it helped to talk about it. She said she will be my sober nail buddy when I’m ready to go. I decided not to go today at all, but will find a new nail shop this week that doesn’t trigger me!

Finding a new salon is exactly the right response to this situation. Great job! Keep growing!

Well done @Mariposa426
It’s very difficult to say NO… Bc in your mind one piña colada it’s innocent, it’s sweety and helps to destress… But, it doesn’t works like that for us.
You were so brave, responsible with yourself and respectfully with your mind and body.
Feel great with yourself bc you did a great job

I still haven’t gotten my nails done lol, but that’s ok. I made it to day 24 and that 30 chip is just in front of me, so I have that motivation. I found a new shop to try out today and made sure to call and found out they don’t have alcohol as a beverage option!

Way to go my friend! That’s a wonderful win and attitude.
Have fun getting your nails done (good to know some salons don’t offer alcohol 
).
I look forward to celebrating your 1 month milestone!
