Superbowl Sunday without a drink
Day 34 of sobriety for me. Two different friends invited me out to bars to watch the Superbowl, but I gently and firmly told them that sitting in a bar for hours (the broadcast lasts forever) was not a good idea for me. I watched the game in my house without needing a drink.
One friend in particular keeps asking me to a bar so "you can have coffee and I can have a drink." But she means half-dozen double vodkas, and I don't find that prospect entertaining at all.
I'd appreciate any suggestions about other ways to tell my old drinking buddies I am no longer interested.
Every day is a better day...
