My husband asked if it would be ok for me to drink at the event I am going. He doesn't mind me drinking at parties or celebrations, he hated me secretly drinking at home alone. I really thought about it and told him it would be ok, if I could have just one or two glasses of wine, but I know I will have the urge to drink more and also I would drink the next morning. So I just have to accept that I am a non-drinker. Don't want to think about myself as an alcoholic (I know I am). So if anyone asks, I will just say no thanks, I'm not much of a drinker. And when I think about it, I never actually notice anyone else drinking or not drinking and I have never asked someone that oh, why are you not drinking. I mean, it's really none of my concern.

35 days here and still feeling good. Going to head out to the beach and enjoy this beautiful CA warm weather we have been having.
Zerothehero- Good job not drinking at the New Years eve party with only 5 days into your sobriety. I went to a Christmas party a few weeks into my sobriety with a few of my friends. Nobody pestered me to drink in fact I had one of my close friends tell me good job. I can honestly say I had more fun being sober and people watching than actually being drunk! I never thought I could have a good time without drinking with all my friends. I watched as so many people were getting drunk almost falling over each other and all I kept thinking was 'I am going to feel great in the morning and not blow off the day in bed with a hangover'.
Muhv- You can do it nobody is going to ask you why you are not drinking. Just sit back and people watch. It can be quiet the comedy when sober
Good job everybody on your days of sobriety!! Have a safe sober weekend!

Day 28. Yay!
Zero--your mood evaporating like pppffssstt happens to me as well. I like to think that's why those times feel so good--because we all know they are fleeting. But havind said that, there's a purity to our moments now that we're sober that will make them much less fleeting than what we had before. That tiny amount of time between the good buzz and it going bad was truly fleeting. At any rate, hang in there and you'll be headed back up on the roller coaster again soon.
Everyone have a peaceful, sober weekend!

Day 21 here.
Get right back on the horse, Mariah. Who wants to be one of those insufferably smug people who got sober on their first go, anyway :-) (no offence to the insufferably smug) (or the sober on first go people).
