Surrounded Again...

But I win again...

At this time in my life I can afford to buy booze every night if I wanted to...

But, for some reason, when I go to a function and the booze is free...it makes me crave more...

Ice cold beer was available today at a party. I passed like the non drinker I am, but it was a little bit tempting....

I didn't have to look far today to see many drunks. Friday afternoon...free booze...a few people were already gone and it was 3 pm...

Don't miss those days...

Off to the gym in a few...

Glad you powered through that, D122.

I had to avoid situations like that early on - the drinking party atmosphere - until I felt more confident in my sobriety.

Have a good workout.

Good for you D122y, glad to hear you passed
Way to go on staying healthy and hitting the gym, too. Haven't got that far yet myself!

Choose differently, live differently. Simple but not easy to do initially. Little changes each day build a radically better life.

Thanks for sharing!
