Step 1 - Party Hardy!

Today was hard and I can say somewhat successful. Tonight was the annual Christmas Party at my best friend's house and we had a wonderful time. There was a lot food, lot of drinks, lots of mixed nuts, and lots of joy.

I felt good about how things went at the party. I wasn't abstinent but I didn't binge like I have done in the past. Grandpa Ben makes a killer clam dip with fritos... I used to gorge on this stuff. Tonight I kept to two chips with dip. I didn't eat any nuts and was able to be alcohol free. Such a difference from the past. And I had good time and was sober and not uncomfortable with the food. So that was a plus. Maybe there is something to this program. I sure hope it directs me in the right way.
