Today is my seventh day of being sober. Withdrawals are gone, no cravings. Reading some of the threads here, I feel lucky.

Tonight I'm going to a party and the beer will be free. That's a great moment to prepare for and to test my sobriety, so I'm happy with it. The timing couldn't be better.

I have no desire to drink. And if I do drink, I can examine what drove me to it so it won't happen again.

Some might say it would be better to avoid those type of parties, but my attitude is that I need to learn to be around alcohol. That's easier than leading a life of avoidance.
