Day Seven

Hello! I am almost there. One whole week! It feels really great. I am alert, hydrated and rested. I feel empowered too. Empowered that I have made this decison and I am following thru on it. I am excited to be sober. Last night my husband took us out to dinner. I was worried at first, because could I go to my fav Mexican Restaurant and not have my fav Margarita. "wolfie" was knocking on my door. I almost called the whole thing off. I told wolfie to fuck off and went into the restaurant. It's not fair of me to ruin a nice dinner just because I am not strong enough. Once I ordered my club soda with lemon I was fine. Once it arrived & I took a sip I was even better. It's amazing how good food tastes when your pallat (sp.) is not destroyed by alcohol! Now, that being said. I learned that maybe we should eat at home more. Not that we ate out a lot to begin with, but the temptation is just too great when you are at a restaurant. Especially one that has your favorite tequila (green bottle orange top!). I told my boss today. She was happy for me. She is more like a friend than a boss, but she was happy and excited that I am getting healthy again. This all feels really good. I hope this feeling never goes away. Peace, love and eternal happiness. Me.
