10 days!

Today is day 10 of no alcohol. I hit rock bottom 11 days ago, woke up the next morning, and emptied my house of all the alcohol. I visited a councillor day 1 and have been going strong ever since.

I avoided a family get together because of fear I'd drink, but have gone to a Halloween party and work function since. I found bringing my own beverages to these events and carrying them avoids anyone offering me drinks or awkward conversations that I'm not ready to have.

It'll be a long journey but 1 day at a time is what's getting me through.
