47 Weeks

I am now at 47 weeks sober.

This past week was my biggest challenge so far on this journey. I had a week long conference in San Jose with multiple dinners and social events (all with free alcohol).

I had mentally prepared myself before arriving to the city for every event and every scenario that may present itself. Because of that and checking in here, I was able to stay strong. I had my diet coke and kept busy just genuinely talking to people. It is with no surprise that I learned more and met more people than any of the prior conferences.

So keep to your plans, we can do this!

That's awesome. Nothing better than the strength you get after a night sober interacting with others who are drinking. I take great pride in that these days.
