I just got back from my first business trip since I quit drinking and despite many temptations I didn't drink. So I thought I'd go out tonight and celebrate by having sushi. My wife is out of town and she's a vegetarian so it was the perfect time. And I had a great time without sake or beer. But, gawd is sushi expensive. Luckily I've saved so much not drinking I could easily afford it.

I'm only a little over 30 days into this but I'm feeling really good overall. Sobriety is really worth it for any of those on the fence. It won't solve all your problems and you'll have good days and bad days, but that's just the way life is. Your worst day sober is so much better than all the crap you put up with drinking.

I'm just liking this new life and wanted to let you all know!

Good for you! Congrats on the first of many sober months.

Way to go on your first business trip sober and return home!! I'm not a fan of sushi, but am sure it beats sake every time

Well done on your sober time.

Hugs and prayers,

Thanks for sharing your great news, jd. It feels so good when we rise above the temptations that are all around us. We grow stronger and more determined. Nice job.

Thank goodness. When I saw "I went out tonight" I was afraid I was about to read how you drank. I remember my old sponcor would refer to: "going out" as drinking.
Congrats on paving your way to a better life!

Well done for treating yourself, and how nice that you had the cash to just go for it on the sushi.

I would love to go to a sushi bar but want to go with a friend who knows how it all works / what to do - I'm a bit nervous that I'd make an idiot of myself somehow or run up an astronomical bill without realising
