Went to a party

Had to go to a party tonight. House, food, drinks and lots of people. I didn't feel the need to drink and didn't. The party was actually quite fun. The party then moved on to a local pub and within half ann hour I had to run. I couldn't take it so I bolted. I couldn't talk to anyone and I felt awkward.

That's me finished with pubs!

I don't think you'll be missing much by staying out of the pubs.

Great job Finnie!!

House parties are alright but pubs are only manageable up until people are getting drunk, and then it's time to bail!!

You gotta do, what you gotta do to protect your Sobriety!!

I know! It's crazy but pubs were central to my life since I was 16.

All that BS talk. Well I can take it or leave it now.

I'm in bed and I've 16 days sober.

you used the best tool
if in doubt get out
years ago I drank during a similar instance
now I know to run for my life if not feeling right

good work -- and -- going to the pubs is not for everyone in sobriety
actually most don't go that often
