25th day today I noticed on an app I have. Doing mostly well, really starting to get my mindset in the right place. This mostly meaning that I can see that I can enjoy life more without alcohol.
i no longer need it. Which on its own is empowering.
I have a wedding this afternoon which previously had me a little worried, however I am excited to have a good time sober. I don't remember dancing sober. Luckily for me I have two left feet.
I am happy that I know I can still have fun and my wits and humour still exist sober.
I'll keep SR close today

Congratulations on 25 days of sobriety. It sounds like you have a good attitude. If things begin to go badly at the wedding, do you have a plan? Will you be able to leave quickly, if necessary?

Also, we have a car there so we can leave whenever we want.
I'm probably going to have a non alcoholic drink in my hand the whole time. A **** load of sugar for one day will be better than alcohol for many

Home In one piece after 4 hours of open bar and lots of questions.
i definitely had thoughts of maybe I could have a few beers. I thought then I would need some for when I get home and then tomorrow then how the **** did I end up back down the bottom again.
The beer would not of given me the pleasure it tricks me into expecting. It never does. It would just feed the beast that it created.
I really need to be vigilant over the next few days as similar circumstances have been my downfall in the past.

The rule for lasting sobriety for me is to put your sobriety and recovery at no1 priority in your life. Unless you have to absolutely go to events with lots of boozing then don’t go. If it was another illness you wouldn’t go as you’d say you were too ill 🙏
