Oh my gosh, Krist. I can relate to this. For me skiing at resorts was just hand in hand with drinking beer. And I seemed to think I could ski better after a few beers...and performing at outdoor festivals just seemed to go hand in hand with drinking a few and then thinking I could perform better....anyways, stay strong. You can still have a great time without drinking. I hope your skiing buddies are supportive/understanding. My band mates, except for one, haven't been...
Welcome to the site. Glad you found us! For me, it really does help override temptation if there is at least just one person in your presence who know's what's up and sort of holds you accountable.
