I reached my two weeks today as well. Alcohol. I do not think I have been 2 weeks without a drink since I was probably 20-21 years oldā€¦and I am 43.

Awesome job. Youā€™re through the worst part and you never have to go through that part again. Just stay sober for today, tomorrow will sort itself out :slightly_smiling_face:

As we are entering the official ā€œholidayā€ season with Thanksgiving this week, I recognize my struggle last night was with celebratory drinking habits. I made it to vacation, that deserves a toast. I am hosting Thanksgiving for my family and get to cook, that deserves a lifted glass, once we are back to school, there are 15 school days until Christmas, thats going to be a challenge with 7th graders. The holiday list of excuses is pretty grand. I plan on checking in with this group every time a craving starts to bubble up (pun intended),even if it means I have to hide in the bathroom. Two weeks and I have one month! That hasnā€™t happened since 2017.

Get yourself your own bottle of sparking apple juice and toast with that, to reduce embarrassment.

Also there are AA alkathons on Thanksgiving Day pretty much everywhere. You can pop in for a quick meeting or piece of a meeting if you need a retreat.

HONK, HONK! Here comes the struggle bus!
Day 15 and all I want is a glass of wine. I drove past every stop along the way. Didnā€™t talk myself into allowing just one, but its early yet. Arghā€¦
