I went out to a great dinner tonight with my parents, brothers, and my daughter. We had an absolute blast. I was a little nervous because I knew the place had 2 bars, and sure enough we were sat right near one. I didn't feel any urges or cravings at all! Instead, I pitied the people drinking at the bar. Most were already drooling on themselves like they had been there all day. They were loud, stupid, and just plain rough and unhealthy looking. It felt SO good to enjoy the company of my family while happily sipping my diet coke. It's so good to finally be in this sober place. I don't plan to ever leave again.

((bjames)) - I remember when I got my first job being clean, I was waiting tables in a 24-hour restaurant, working 3rd shift. It took me a while to not be totally aggrevated over the "drunk and disorderly" but I had to remember...I used to BE them! In time I became grateful that I was no longer "them".

Hugs and prayers,

Well done bjames. I just got back from an end of year function for junior sport which was BYO. In the past it would have required organising a taxi and I would have been half full before we got there. It was nice to be able to drive the family, sit back and drink out of my water bottle and drive them home.
Cheers

Nice to read that, bjames. I don't go out to the bars nearly as much as I used to, but when I do, I realize that my beer drinking days are behind me and I have no problem sticking to soda.
