I will need extra strength to do this. Whats your plan ? Lets do it together starting today

Jeeping on the 4th, washing truck on the 5th (day), going to the minor league game that night, setting up for a party Saturday morning, going to a wedding Saturday afternoon, DJ'ing the party Saturday night, and hopefully nothing on Sunday. I'm tired just thinking of it all. Only good thing is that I know I won't be hungover!

Think I'm going to a backyard barbeque with my good friends--all who know of and support my non-drinking. If I don't stay there the whole day/night I might go climb one of the "mountains" outside my city and watch some fireworks.

Mama Non is visiting, and my wife has two broken feet, so we will probably stay at home. Hopefully if the weather is nice we can have a BBQ. I'll be drinking iced tea and cranberry/ginger ale. I have a few cigars - my big vice these days.

Hey Ricky! Great to have this holiday thread to stay sober with!
I am in! All in!
Tonight is my tough time. So getting on a train to NYC for a sunset walk by the water. Keep me away from the bar during that time.
How are you doing? How are you going to handle tonight?

Just another day here in the UK .
I do have today and tomorow off as part of the shift i work tho' .
At the moment i'm watching wimbledon tennis and plucking at my guitar .
My 20 year old SL500 went through the ministry of transport test yesterday with no problems , although there are a few things i want to do on it as i like to see a fine old machine like that purring along one of the few things in life i know i can get right .

We are going to a friends bbq and I am worried because she is one of my drinking buddies and since I just started, I have told anyone I stopped drinking. I'm thinking of going with "I have a kidney infection and can't drink"

Funny thing......I used to drink so I would feel comfortable in a group of people, now that I no longer drink, I am not interested in hanging out with groups of people. A bit of hermit am I.
That said, I am going to go to a barbeque for a couple of hours on Thursday, but will be home long before folks get out of control.
Although I think the fireworks are beautiful, having to mingle with all those people......not my cup of tea.
I will be safe at home keeping the dog calm from the booms and bangs.

Sounds great, Rick. I am planning to grill out, as well. First sunny day since Mama Non came to visit. She brought a bunch of rain with her!
Not sure what tomorrow will bring - but it will be sober.
Enjoy the Great Outdoors! Watch out for them skeeters.

I'm with you all! Had planned to take today off to head up to Philadelphia early but then had a meeting scheduled on me at the last minute at 4:30PM (by a Brit...hmmm....think it was on purpose? Payback? J/K 
)
So hitting a meeting tonight and then getting up early to make the drive up. Tomorrow is grilling and maybe some fireworks. Don't know yet. Just know I will be staying sober and checking in here.
See you all later!
