How's everyone doing???
For those who "know" me, I have resolved to not drink alone, and have had only one "slip" in weeks. I'm in a very good place right now, and although I am aware it may be fleeting, I am taking it and running with it!! I had a test yesterday - sat in the ER with my parents (my Dad was convinced he had cancer, but it was only an infection) for 6-1/2 HOURS!! By the time I got home, it was 9:30 pm (I left at 12:30!) and usually would have felt ENTITLED to a bottle of wine to relax me. Instead, I had a glass of milk, checked in the kidlets, and went to bed! I really think I'm getting the hang of this! Continued success to the others who are on their own journeys.

How wonderful for you - you're right, that was a true test, to see if you could continue in a healthy reaction to a really stressful situation. I'm doing well, too (see thread further up). Fingers and toes crossed for us and others.

Oh, you are doing really well. And, to have made it through the stress of being at the hospital for the better part of the day with your parents is a testament to the strength of your resolve. It really is the stressers, both big and small, that can do us in at times, so you should be very proud of yourself. Glad to hear that you are in a very good place right now. It's a nice feeling, isn't it :-)
Take care,
Tamara
