Went to baseball game...Got splashed by beer!
So went to watch a Major League Baseball game last week...First things first I've got close to 17 hard earned months of sobriety and i am passionate about baseball.
Have been since i watched it as a kid with my grandfather. It's really one of the most enjoyable things in my life.
I'm not afraid of being tempted by drinking at the games....I never go alone. We went as part of team building night...My bosses (Who have put me through rehab were there too.)
Anyways, about the 4th inning the fellow in front of me knocked his sunglasses off and as reflex tried to grab them with his hand (Which was also holding his beer...Imagine it...And you get the picture...About 1/3 of the beer went flying back in our direction...My co-worker got he most of it...But i did get splashed as well.)
I really didn't know how i would react...But i was OK for the most part..I used to drink beer occasionally but the hard stuff (Whiskey) is what i really descended into at the end of my drinking...)
I did call my sponsor, and talked about it after the game...And yeah i went back to the office and changed my shirt.
Just curious if anyone else has had any experiences like this one? How did you react? I think i handled it pretty well...I think my HP was throwing a curveball at me!...
Still sober...Going strong...This coming Monday will make 17 straight sober months. I am grateful to you all at SR, you've helped me so much.
Have a great day everyone. Findingtheway
