Biggest Challenge to Date

So biggest challenge yet.

Had a trip to Las Vegas for Chrysler Financial, they put on a training and pay for flight/hotel every year for what I do.

Anyways, did a little gambling and waitresses kept asking me if I wanted a drink. Then to top it off, both nights they had parties for CFC and it was mandatory to at least show up. Problem is, the word "OPEN BAR" makes most men salavate at the mouth.

My mouth was foaming for all three days in Las Vegas and I probally ordered more Red Bull's than I should have, but I maintaned absolute sobriety throughout. This was a big milestone for me and the next one is my 10 year h.s. reunion this summer.

Just wanted to update, thanks for all the support here, I mean that.

I'm glad you made it.

I couldn't be around alcohol for a long time after I stopped drinking.

it only takes once

glad you made it through

That's some willpower you got there, Iggi! congrats on keeping sober.

Whenever I've gambled, I'd try to recoup my losses in free drinks. I'd better stay away from a casino for a long while.

Good for you!

When I go to LV...I attend AA each day.
I find it helps me keep in perspective.
