Hi Linda,
Wonderful post Linda! Sorry for the delayed response, been in a bit of funk lately, haven't been on much, but glad to hear you are doing well.
I too had my first alcoholic drink last weekend, when I was visiting my cousin in the states. I only had one. I too wanted to wait for me to be a year out too, but life happens.
I would have been caught off guard too with the customer's question, but your right, doubts will be there, its normal. However, this tool gives us the best chance for success.
I relate to a lot of what you said in your post, outside of the energy. My energy has been in the dumps, but I plan to see my GP soon about this. Could be various things a play.
Keep on doing what your doing Linda, you've been so successful!
Take care.

Hello Amanda,
I, too, was in a bit of a funk this weekend and although I got lots done around the house, felt a bit down and grumpy - not my usual self. Life does happen and we will have ups and downs - accepting them for the short term and getting back to ourselves as quickly as possible is what is most beneficial for us.
I have half a bottle of wine in the fridge and it will remain there until Christmas - or later. It is not on my plan, so it shouldn't be in my mouth. I find that when I justify a bit, I can justify a lot more - not good and I do know better.
I'm sending you a blast of energy now and a virtual hug. You are also doing incredibly well and that isn't just measured by the scale or the tape.
We're doing well and I am so grateful for that.
Linda
