Learning to say no

My boyfriend doesn’t know I’m doing this. He offered to buy a bottle of tequila tonight and I said no thanks and cleaned for 2 hours. Not feeling too challenged on day 2… this weekend is what I’m really afraid of.

That is really good. Saying no to a drink offered from a loved one! First 48 hours are the hardest, and if you said no to your boyfriend, I think you got this weekend in the bag. If you are worried about it, just stay away from places that will be challenging like bars and partys. Sure it might seem boring, but hey nothing wrong with a movie and ice cream night. Healthier for you and now is the key time. The biggest milestones for me were 48 hours, then two weeks. Sometimes took 1 day at a time, some took it 1 minute at a time. Juse keep you mind set on your goal
