Cool Closing ln on 150 days

Closing in on 150 days, I feel good but I also feel like a outcast and a robot from just working eating going to the gym sleeping and repeating. Have a big test with the 25th annual seafood fest at Hampton Beach NH next weekend. I've got 2 friends from school making a trip up for the weekend for the occasion, both are heavy binge drinkers and big into 4/20. It's just for a day and a half or so but I can't not see my child hood best friends! Going to hold my own and do what's important to me by not caving into the pier pressure. Feel like when I tell people I'm sober they look at me like I'm a toy from misfit island, theirs so much evil in the world it's become part of normal society that when your good people think you have a problem or your on probation. I'm close to half way towards my big goal of a year! I'm a lot happier than I was 147 days ago, just feels like I'm a odd man out in this world of drinkers to one day be sucked back into the abyss! Thanks for listening to my story hope everyone has a good Labor Day weekend!

That's awesome! Almost half a year. Don't worry- it feels more normal with time.

WEll done Brad - don't lose. It's important that your friends know and support you. I am going to see a band tonight with a couple friends. They will be drinking and they know that I am sober and support that. I have just as much fun sober. Actually now, more fun because at the end of the night I'm still the same person I was when I showed up. Driving home is no longer a paranoid affair. I look for cops now
And it's amazing noticing other drivers and being able to ascertain whether or not they are 'drunk' and to keep my distance.
