I will be 6 weeks sober tomorrow and had my first night out alcohol free a couple of days ago. I won't lie I dreaded the thought of it but have to admit it was a liberating experience. I went out with work friends and we went for dinner then a few bars. Everyone else bar one was drinking. Some had started drinking hours prior to when we met so were already highly intoxicated by the time they arrived. I can honestly say at no point did I feel jealous of them being drunk, one in particular was quite pissed and did a few embarrassing things and all I could think is that would be me if I was drinking right now, well id probably have been worse!! waking up the following day with no hangover, fear or blackouts was amazing. I'm looking forward to my sober life journey ahead

It's a great feeling the next day isn't it?

And don't people talk loudly when they're drunk !!

Well done Soberl. Fair play to you.

Aye Pulaski. Very true. I was out with some mates of mine the other day and thought to myself, "Did I really talk such utter bo**ocks with such conviction too?". And yes. Yes I completely did - in abundance I don't begrudge them, (I'm not the fally-over juice police), but I do feel really glad when I'm up and about early the following morning to hear the birds singing and enjoy the day without the headache from hell

its not as exciting as it once seemed, is it.

i was at a bar 2 days ago, i was not drinking. And the thought of going up to the bar to get one did not even get into my mind.

I dont drink to seem fancy and relax.

i drink to get absolutely hammered, nothing fancy there.

so there is 0 point of me to want even 1.

now give me a hot day, backyard and a hammock! and you have found my weakness.
