5 Days Sober
I've reached the five day mark. It hasn't been easy as I was on a business trip Thursday and Friday in which everyone was drinking and couldn't figure out why I wasn't. On the last day I pulled the director of the department on the side and explained why, and she was understanding and thanked me for telling her. I've had success dealing with the AV and have been able to identify moments that previously I would have given in and stopped off for a drink. Feels good to have have control and know I've made the right decision.
Congrats Steve !
My business colleagues also wondered why I went from a "party guy", to no drinking at all.... I just told them it's health related, and after a few months, nobody asks me anymore.. You need to do what's best for you.

That euphoria is real, Steve, and well earned. Pay attention to that feeling, and each time you make this right decision, what I like to call your sober muscle gets stronger each time. Well done!
