Checking in- sober on a Thursday!
Going to a dinner tonight with my gal group that I have been pretty much avoiding oh, since my sobriety date. I don't feel tempted to drink, and feel confident having rehearsed "I don't drink anymore". And, I will say it with pride, not shame or embarrassment. If they hang in for the long run, great. If not- well, that is fine, too. If alcohol is the only thing that has kept us together, then it is not a relationship I need or want to be in.
My sobriety takes precedence above everything.
I will check in when I get in tonight.
