Passed a test, there will be more
Last night I ended up in a situation that a few months ago would not have ended well. I am out of state on business with two co-workers. Work done for the day and we headed off for dinner. Ended up at a local tavern with lots of craft beers on tap. We had our dinner at the bar.
It could have been the perfect storm to relapse; I was not driving, had my own hotel room, and in a bar. I am 10 days shy of four months sober.
No craving or desire to drink at all. Oh sure, that little bastard AV was whispering "just try one, it won't hurt" but I shut that down pretty quick. Ended up having a good time and no hangover or embaresment this morning.
More tests to come with the hoiday season bearing down and several family parties planned. Last night I proved to myself I can avoid drinking.

Ecellent. It's great that you're denying alcohols hold over you. It took me a long time to stay safe while in your position.
It does get easier. I don't even think of a drink while in an establisment that serves booze.
I do watch how much others are drinking, though. Just a habit and not a temptation.
Best to you.
