Hi Bean..glad to see you here!

For me...the base of my balance is using the Steps daily.
I also pray often for peace and direction.

I usually go to 4 meetings a w week to stay connected.

Here are some ideas that kept me sober during social events...

Go late Leave early Take your own car.

Take a non drinking friend with you.

Carry your AA phone contacts to use if you get antsy.

Dance a lot.

Get your own drink and keep it with you.
A 7 up + Line looks alcoholic.

Smell before you drink...glasses do get switched.

When asked if you want a drink...
"No... this is fine..thanks"

No explanation are needed.
Sober people seldom push
Drunks won't remember or care

In the BB starting at the botton of
100 please read before a party.

Take care...
