14 days, the things I've done for the first time sober

Today is 14 days of no booze or pot (the pot only was smoked after 3 drinks, so yes, a lot too). I am feeling good.

Some of the things I have done for the first time SOBER, thus far:

Went to dinner at great restaurants that serve wine and beer.

Went to dinner with my family (who didn't feel the pressure to drink then!? ha)

Went to a concert- one of my favorite bands actually!

Went to Disneyland (I always drank in Downtown Disney AND California Adventure)

Went on a bike ride and stopped as usual, this time for a Jamba Juice, instead of beer.

Had a BBQ at home on the weekend- with NO BEER or WINE- wow.

Went to the movies and dinner after- always always that was time for beer- I made it thru the movie with no drink, right! Now it's party time- NOT.

And tonight is the Jewish holiday to celebrate the New Year at my mom's house- ALWAYS drink plenty on those occasions- but I will not be dong that tonight.

Life is much richer today. It's so nice to know that when I am laughing hard, that it is coming from a true place.

Thank you for reading.

Best to all

Hi TimeToGrowUp,

Looks like you’ve been busy.

I grew up there, not too far from Disney. I really miss the beaches.

Glad to hear you’re truly laughing.

I’m 16 days sober and laughing is cool

Ed

Time,
Congrats! Thanks for sharing. I too had list at day 14. Trust me when I say it will get even better! I'm still catching up on all the wonders of the world. Movies are better, books are better, people are better. Happiness is an inside job. It all starts with us and the world is different because of it. Prayers
