In 2 hours..I'll have 5 days sober...

Nothing too inspirational to say other than I've been to some great meetings the last 5 days and talk to another alcoholic every day... I do have a function at work tomorrow night where there's going to be alcohol. I will stay for a maximum of 1 hour and bring my desire chip with me....I'll let you know how it goes....

Well done on your sober time, confused. I think your plan for tomorrow night is great. Yes, please, let us know how it goes.
Don't be frightened if you are tempted by the alcohol. Just hang on to that desire chip and remember all those meetings you've been to - get through this - and you'll be that much stronger for the next time. Will be thinking of you.

Congratulations Confused -

Keep strong tonight!! Have you thought of calling a sober friend just before your function - a good pep talk might help!

Congratulations on making it through with out a drink! I was faced with that very same situation many times in my previous job, so I know how hard it can be.

It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be..
I found the same to be true and for me, each time got a little easier not to drink. I hope the same for you.

Best wishes,

jozran
