I did it!
Today was day 3 for me since I drank last. Tonight was my first "outing" without drinking - I went to a sports match with my brother in law, and I would have definitely normally overdone it with the drinking. This time, however, I resisted the urge to buy a beer and made it through the whole night completely sober.
I'm really proud of myself, and actually found that I enjoyed the game a lot more than the last that I went to one (where I got completely drunk and couldn't even recall the 2nd half of the game). This time I could actually follow what was going on, and had a really great time. It feels good to associate a good time with not drinking for a change.
After the game we went out for some food where I ordered club soda (would have normally ordered beer), and it felt refreshing to actually sit with a friend and have a conversation that wasn't alcohol induced.
Just wanted to share. Thank you everyone for helping me achieve and continue my sobriety!

Congratulations!
This staying sober does get a bit easier each day we don’t drink one day at a time in a row.
We can have “bad” days but we don’t need to drink because our days will get and be better without drinking.
BE WELL
