Survived BBQ woo hoo!

Went to BBQ, not only did I not feel uncomfortable being around drinkers I had no desire to drink. The thought of drinking actually disgusted me. My dad and his friends were drunk but the normal drinkers only had one or two and were done. Grateful I was sober and did not desire to drink. God and working the program helps.

Well done As Luling said, it's nice to know it can be done. And can be done where other people are drinking...
