Made it Past the Bar

I went to a bar tonight and thought about drinking. I was watching the baseball game. Instead I drank Diet Coke and ate some chicken tenders. I made it past the first test and I am very happy about it !!

Simply repeat the process the next time!

Hey, Hockey... Good job, but please think about staying away from those places, too. No sense putting yourself into dangerous places when you have made such a good start in recovery. I/we are here because we don't want to/ can't drink or use and this means doing things differently. I keep reminding myself that one is too many and a thousand aren't enough.

Your partner in day 7,

It sure feels good when we can chalk up some sober time in tempting situations, I too am feeling grateful for a sober night spent in Sin City...

You guys are awesome and you are right, the best thing is to stay away from those situations. I actually went in planning on drinking and just didn't. That is a real victory for me...

Yeah, that "planning on drinking" is scarey. So glad you didn't!! Best to stay clear of bars for now. I did the same thing, testing myself. I was told we don't have to go looking for trouble, it will find us!!

Good for you on another day sober!!
