Went out last night...Still start of Day 9 and not Day 1
 
Just a quick post. Caught up with some friends I hadn't seen in years and we went out for a while last night. At first I was reluctant but I said I didn't wanna miss the opportunity to catch up with them since we live fairly far apart.

They all were drinking some beers and got me a cup. I was like "Naw, not drinking tonight got stuff to do tomorrow". They didn't have a problem with it at all.

Still had a good time and didn't need to be buzzin all night to do it.

Great! It will keep getting easier each time.

Way to distinguish between what you want and what your AV might want!!!

I'm glad you got to see your friends. Sometimes we can feel like we are limited by sobriety but we are not. That's all AV talk.

Great work TNT. I am positive that it'll get easier for us the longer we remain sober :-)
