There are no small victories in sobriety, only great and brave ones.

Way to go! Yep, that's how you do it: one day at a time, one situation at a time. It gets easier with practice, of course..... It's not always comfortable, for sure, but I found out after a bit of time that I actually have a better sense of humor, am more attentive to others and appreciate things more when I'm sober. That realization really helped me to be less fearful of being around people at social events.

Keep up the good work!!
