I did it!!!!
I went out, enjoyed a great 40th birthday party, danced, had fun and I did it all sober, boy am I relieved I managed to pull it off! Today I'm feeling great and exhausted from all the focussing, ha ha!
On a serious note though, knowing I had SR by my side kept me together which was the crucial difference in succeeding last night.
Thank you all at SR.

That is so awesome! Isn't it an incredible feeling? I'm so happy for you. Even though you know you need to be mindful when you go to an event you know that you CAN DO THIS and don't need to be a recluse.
It's a great feeling

Great that you made it through but most alcoholics I know avoid drinking situations. The risk is just too great. I have also seen multiple times where the person made it through the drinking situation but relapsed within a few days or a week of the occasion.

Thank you for all your supportive posts, it makes the load lighter for me.
I've been sober exactly 2 weeks today and I can see things that have changed already. My mood is no longer swinging from low to massively low and my anxiety is better too. That is a huge for me as I felt totally shut off from the world thinking no-one could feel the way I did. I was pure misery when I first posted on here.
I know it's still very early days and the risks of relapse are out there all around but I feel so proud that I got to 2 weeks and something has sort of clicked, I don't know what, but something in me has changed, maybe I got sick of feeling sick and realised that no-one is coming to save me, I have to save myself.
