Was offered drinks many times last night
My wife and I were invited to go to one of the hot spots in town last night with some of my co-workers. We haven't been out in a long while so figured why not since I usually turn them down. I felt great as I received my 90 day chip over the weekend. My wife asked me if I was going to be ok being around basically everyone drinking. I told her I feel great and lets go have a good time.
Once we arrived the party started quickly. The bottles arrived and out come the cocktails. I told my co-workers I'm driving so I'm not drinking. One of them kept trying to get me to drink at least 10 different times probably. I just laughed it off and changed the topic. I had no problem making drinks for my wife or anyone else. She was worried about me for a while, but she told me today that she realizes she can't control me and if I was going to do it I would do it. I told her she was absolutely right.
Well I'm glad I still had a great time drinking a lot of juice and listening to some good music.

Well done for getting your 90day chip and good to see you handled your night out so well. There will come a time when being around people drinking won't phase you at all but right now staying centred and focused is paramount. Well done. Elle

Hi Get!
I'm very glad that you have flexed those sober muscles and had a successful night. I hate those people who just keep offering us drinks. What's their deal!?!?
Keep being vigilant and working your plan. Remember it's not easy, but it's totally worth it.

It felt good to say no thank you. I would usually be the guy that would be regretting what I possibly did that night. I woke up with no worries.
