Managed to get back on the wagon a few days ago, thankfully. Usually my relapses go on and on and on and....

 

Good for you.  I have a hard time staying on the wagon myself so I know what a victory it is once you get back on!

We're not likely to be permanently on the wagon (hope that's okay), but for financial reasons (health too), we're not drinking really - 3 days sober and I feel good.  This time has come.  I hope we can stick with it.  COVID has made drinking so easy.

I said to my husband today - 7 days sober - he said I wish you wouldn't say that, we're not alcoholics.  I said, I don't think you realize how much I was drinking (he kind of was, kind of wasn't), and how I always thought about that next drink as I waited for it to be an 'acceptable' time (lunch).  So he was like, fine, for you.  

I said I don't know what to do about all of our nice wine (some we're aging in the wine fridge).  Most of it has corks so it's not like you can just screw the lid back on.  I think I'd be okay - but on the other hand, I don't want to wreck my progress.  We do have for camping one of these:

You can purge the air for it so the wine lasts longer.  That or when friends come over or when we go places.  

Who knows, maybe I can have a glass or two of wine.  Or maybe that'll lead to regular drinking again.  Dunno.  

For now, I'm not going to drink it.
