Job Promotion

Just got word I am getting a nice promotion at work.

Girlfriend wants to take me to a nice dinner. She isn’t drinking as well in support of me (she has no issue with alcohol)

The good job news has triggered me a bit. On day 4.

Getting drunk would be a good way to screw up the new job promotion. Don't drink.

Congrats on the job and on having a supportive GF!

I recommend a half pint orange juice with a half pint lemonade and a tablespoon of grenadine.

Good for you getting a promotion and not drinking over it. That's the way to ensure more promotions in the future.

Congrats on the promo! But,yea.. I would use good news,bad news and no news as an excuse to get drunk in the past. Just keep on going and eventually a drink(s) will not even cross your mind on these occasions.

All great points. The excitement definitely has me wishing I was “normal”

I won’t drink. But it stinks. Not use to this, but I know being use to sober will come.

Really want a beer with the steak dinner.
