Well I'm back from my second night out. I stuck to water and fentimans. The meal was a bit awkward as a bunch of friends cancelled so it turned out more like a double date with my ex and 2 others... but it was ok. The gig was fun. I spent hardly any money!!

Guys, I just got home from my husband's company's Christmas party. Here is what I posted on my October class thread: (I am feeling so "enlightened" tonight!)
Hi, guys. Home again, home again, jiggety jig. So, I am in my happy place ~ completely sober. This is the first business party that I have ever done sober in my life and it is a complete eye opener. The people who were drunk really made fools of themselves and I now see how many people really don't drink a whole lot. I really liked feeling so in control the whole evening. My husband didn't drink either and he was commenting how nice it was to not have to question his actions or to feel nervous about driving. The best part is that not one person seemed to even notice if we were drinking or not ~ no one said or asked anything about it. (I had cranberry and lime and my husband had tonic and lime.) This evening was such a wonderful, positive experimental experience for me, guys. I can't believe that it has taken me half my life to "see the light."

I'm a bit late, but I'm in. Did some christmas shopping this evening, and had to tell the AV to shut up a few times-wanted to trick me into drinking later becuase it would relax me after having to brave the stores. Went out do dinner after shopping at a real small, intimate restaurant. Had to listen to the couple next to us debate over which bottle of wine they were going to order. A guy across from me pulled at a pint. The waitress asked if we wanted to see the wine list. I thought about all you out there in SR land, fighting the good fight. Took a deep breath. Nope. No booze for me. Actually ended up having a plesant meal.
