Nice stack of victories yesterday! (Day 28 or so, I think?)

Had a big day yesterday. I did have a couple times of temptation, more in a "are we or are we not not drinking for good, because this is the kind of day where I normally would.

The confluence of events: Kid's birthday, took them snowboarding, threw a party afterwards with friends. Ex husband came.

The cake was a creative endeavor (sculpted cake with teeth and a tongue hanging out-- turned out pretty well!) I banged that out Weds night with some help from my other daugher-- cleaned as I went, so the house is a disaster, which can be triggering, but I'm chipping away at it.

Snowboarding-- I have a ton of anxiety about it (an abnormal amount, esp after years of trying to learn, I would say.) I had a flask that's usually full of Fireball in my pocket with just water... I actually did great and started having some actual fun!

Party, I def had the usual social anxiety, esp with Ex. I brought some Guinness Zero, but they had an Athletic Brewing IP on tap. Kept my hands occupied.

I had this weird thing going on where I'd take a bit eo fo food and swallow, but it would hit an area in my throat and trigger what I guess is something like my gad reflex, only opposite-- Like, I would try to swallow but not be able to and the food wouldn't move otherwise (I could kind of breahe around it), so I needed to swallow all my food with water or beer and, thus, felt like I was chugging it.

Anyhow, good vibes here, and sending them out to you, as well! IWNDWYT!
