I love going to concerts too - I can go and not even register others drinking now, let alone not be tempted...

but I had to work up to that.

I stayed away from concerts for a while, and as a musician I stayed away from playing music for a while as well.

I needed to put clear distance between the person I used to be and the person I wanted to become.

That meant not being around temptation or situations dangerous to my sobriety for a while....not forever, but just until I built up some sober muscles and got to a point where I referred not to drink...no matter what
