Superbowl Sunday without a drink
 

Day 34 of sobriety for me. Two different friends invited me out to bars to watch the Superbowl, but I gently and firmly told them that sitting in a bar for hours (the broadcast lasts forever) was not a good idea for me. I watched the game in my house without needing a drink.

One friend in particular keeps asking me to a bar so "you can have coffee and I can have a drink." But she means half-dozen double vodkas, and I don't find that prospect entertaining at all.

I'd appreciate any suggestions about other ways to tell my old drinking buddies I am no longer interested.


Every day is a better day...

Yeah, many of us stayed home, and I agree, sitting there watching other people getting trashed it NOT all that entertaining. Makes me wonder, was I really like that? Yeah, I guess I was. Meh. :a136:

No thanks, I have stopped drinking... Trying to work on my health... Not on my diet... Can't... Taking antibiotics...

I have other plans... It makes me feel horrible.... I'm training for something
(race).... I have a big day tomorrow....

Random things that I have said.

I am not that creative. I just say I am trying change myself. Bars bore me.

I stayed home too and know that there are MANY people out there with a hangover today....not me!!! Making it through these particular days without drinking is a big deal; congratulations!

Yep, waking up on Monday morning after the SuperBowl feeling fairly good is almost as good as waking up on New Years Day sober.
And, if we need a shot of gratitude, we get to look around at others' bloodshot eyes this morning.

If you have to tell any of them more than once, chances are pretty good that they are not your buddies.

I agree wholeheartedly. There is nothing more god-awful BORING than watching somebody get drunk while enjoying coffee. I'd rather tape my eyelids open ands watch paint dry.
