To Go or not To Go that is the question?
I can't even think about hanging with my drinking friends. I do not feel I have the resolve to be in a drinking environment yet so I choose to play it safe - and I am way ok with that :-) I hope you make the right choice for you.
If you are not worried about drinking, why put yourself in an either / or position. "Either I go watch the game with friends and drink, or I stay home alone sober."
That would make me want to drink more than watching the game with friends.

I can only speak for the alcoholic typing this post, but my addiction finds many cruel and creative ways to find me. Since my goal each day is to go bed sober I don't feel putting myself in situations where normal people let their hair down and really get after it is a good way for me to achieve that goal.

If I don't drink today I'll wake up with 60 days sober tomorrow. I don't know why I was able, on the first day to keep my promise to myself to not drink when I had failed to do so for so many other days, but I did. I would be very sad to think I had lost that gift. Very sad because I know that if I drink once I won't be able to stop. I want THIS life that I have now. For me nothing is worth the risk.
