A big challenge coming up
Friday I fly down and meet up with 15 other friends/guys for our annual 4 day Myrtle Beach golf trip. We've done this every year for 14 years. It was pretty wild the first few years but as the crew has aged a bit, we all mellowed somewhat. But it's still a huge drink-fest starting 5 minutes after we land until we pour each other onto our respective planes on Monday.
I'll hit my 60 day sobriety mark on Sat. and obviously I'm really nervous about maintaining it. This will be a real test. I would have canceled, but I already prepaid (non-refundable) many months ago over $1,000.
The daylight golf portion should be no problem as I never drink much on the course anyway. But the dinners and nightlife have always been a blast and will test my fortitude! I haven't seen any of these guys since I quit, so I'm not sure what the reaction will be when I order root beer all weekend. But, I figure if I can succeed at this I can do anything!
Anyway I'll report back to SR on Tuesday and will either be very proud of myself, or very discouraged. Wish me luck.
