Instead of being tempted to go out, I would make plans for myself early the next morning and because I had obligations, I would use that as an excuse to stay home if necessary.
At 21 days sober I'm not sure that it's a good idea to be going to places where they have an open bar. Think about the potential threat to your sobriety with every choice you make as far as going out BEFORE hand, and if you think there's a chance you may drink, simply don't go. Stay home, go to the gym, see a movie.
Thank you. It will do that. I have to fight for me, and be my own lookout guy, think before I act.
I knew I should not have gone yesterday, I just really like this singer and thought I could just go see her and go home.
Now, I see that it does not work like that.
