I attended a nieces wedding out of state and over Memorial Day with backyard BBQ's etc at around a year sober.

I made sure I had a car and the keys. I stayed for quite awhile, didn't struggle really but was fairly bored. I was sort of out to prove I could have fun without drinking. Turnout no one cared if I was having fun or not - I wasn't the one getting married. Good lesson for me.

I learned some truths that night, one of which was simply I didn't like to be around those who were chronic in their drinking - just vile frankly. No telling how many I offended over the many, many years of drinking.

I enjoyed the weekend sober interaction with relatives, mostly. I went in determined that a party wasn't going to trip me up.

Pretty simple -
don't take the first drink

You know you - are you ready to make this step?

Best,
fly
