Another accomplishment

This seems to be the week for alot of great "firsts"....
I've been drinking since i was 18, by the time I was 21 I had a real alcohol problem that i've been trying to cope with since. I'm 23 now. I havent had a drink in about 2 weeks, and today for the first time since before I started drinking, I was able to go out with friends into another city and be around them while they drank, but didnt have a drink myself, all day! AND...
I was more than a little apprehensive about going out of my comfort zone today. Leaving my neighborhood, leaving my city with someone other than my ex. It was a scary thought. Ever since my anxiety came and went again, I haven't really TESTED it by doing something like this. Today I would have to take a bus to and from my friends neighborhood and I didn't even know where we'd be hanging out. But I gave myself a lot of pep talks beforehand, and took the chance...and I didn't have any anxiety all day! There was a moment on the bus when I thought I might start to panic, but it passed.
I'm so proud of myself for these two things, I really feel like I'm becoming more disciplined. It feels great to make a promise to yourself (not to drink), and to keep it. I feel like I'm taking my life back :)
