2 weeks !

I'm safe at home and there is no way I'm drinking tonight,

So 2 weeks stands !

This is my 3rd try this year ... This time I really want it. Sober life ain't so bad.... I'm still a little cranky at times but physically I am feeling great ..

Tomorrow night , I have a music gig... As we know there will be drinking and drunks. Not to mention some other stuff floating around, but I am going to be ok. I look forward to the music and remembering all the words to the songs !

I plan on drinking cokes or sparkling water... Maybe with a lime?

Thank you!

I am trying to stay upbeat ... Also advised my company that I needed a much lower workload for the summer. So I gave up a project and some $. But it will be worth it if I don't get stressed out.

In addition, I am staying close to SR.

Congrats on week 2, Easy2slip! Good luck with your gig tomorrow night. Perhaps set yourself a goal of checking in here right before and right after the gig.

And sparkling water is wonderful. I like it with a splash of cranberry juice.

2 weeks sober is great!

I think it's probably good to think ahead and decrease your workload a bit until you feel more comfortable. Have fun with the music gig!

One other tiny hint--order your own drinks and watch the bartender make them. They do make mistakes sometimes and you don't want to end up with a vodka and soda on accident.

Thanks all!

My mind is more clear then ever....
But I am thinking about not drinking all the time...... Is this normal?

It's almost an obsession ...

It certainly beats obsessing about drinking. Sounds to me like you're just putting your recovery first right now, and that's definitely not a bad thing. Good luck tonight! Hope you'll check in here and keep building those accountability muscles.

all you have to do is stay sober tonight..
tomorrow is another day, and you'll be thankful. it's a good feeling. no-matter what, being truly grateful is something that makes you feel well and waking up without a hangover.. that's a big plus.

congrats on two weeks!
and enjoy every moment of this sober night
