Journal Entry for June 3, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, June 3, 2008 | A General Update story
Hangin' in there.  Rainy day with no kick in my step. Haven't thought about drinking for the past few days until now. I'm not going to, it's just that the thought came up.  I suppose it always will here and there. It helps to express it though.  Saturday I went to my daughter's friend's birthday party.  The deck had a full bar.  I avoided it.....for a while.  I eventually couldn't resist and had a couple of Mike's Hard lemonades.  But I drank them within 4 hours and felt like a normal "social drinker" for the first time in years! In the back of my mind I wanted more, and it took a lot of effort to refrain.  But I did! It was really nice.  I'm not ready to say that I could do that every time, so I'm not planning to change into a "social drinker".  I still have to stay away from it.  It was just nice to control my alcohol for once.  Now it's time to get through my Tuesday....Smile
