Hey xoffender-
Does anyone have an option on whether it's 'healthy' to avoid situations where you would normally drink ? Should a sober be able to go anywhere and not be tempted.
Healthy, no I don't think it is healthy to go. However, I really don't have a big problem with abstaining from alcohol if I go to a place where there's drinking. I've even returned to my old haunt once for dinner.
(Ain't the same when you're sober)
The problem that I do have is the insatiable feeling that I'm missing out on the 'fun.' I have come to learn that much of my old life style is really not all that fun without booze. So I do tend to avoid going, mostly for that reason.
There is a huge temptation, however I've already 'paid my dues' when I first stopped 15 months ago, and I'm not willing to put myself in a position to risk starting it all over again.
When in doubt.....
