Proud of myself

I am on a 4 day business trip with an old drinking buddy. I told him I have been sober for 83days he is good not pressuring me. He has been out all 3nights drinking with others. Today is sat and we are in a hotel and off work today. He started drinking at noon by the pool then we went to the bar for lunch. I ordered an ice tea. He and another guy drank for the 2 hours we were there. We sat at the bar for lunch and I stayed with tea and had a lot of laughs from reminising on our drinking adventures. They just left to go to another bar I am in my hotel room happy and peaceful and proud of myself I did get on sr before I met them today just for some added strength. So thanks to sr again

Great job. You should feel proud of yourself. I'm only 12 days sober and I'm afraid of how I'll be when I see my drinking buddies again.

That is fantastic!

I know that business trips can be hard for me, since drinking used to be a big part of it.

Congratulations on using strategies like SR....

Nice one mate!

I know how hard it is when you are away with work and there is pressure to drink.

But you did an awesome job so good for you
