First real test tonight
I live in Vegas and as we all know tonight was the fight of century. I ended up going to a friends house with the wife and kids and enjoyed some really good food and some really great soda. My wife drank and I even made the drinks for her. I didn't mind it at all. It was a bit weird in the beginning when I was asked if I wanted a beer...then I got asked hey are you drinking Jack Daniels? I just said oh my wife can drink, but I'd the DD for the night. I was never tempted except for the very first few minutes. Great test for me tonight and I'm glad I was able to pass. My wife was/is very proud of me. I'm proud of myself. I thought about the effects of drinking...get stupid, loud, drive drunk, hungover etc. Drinking poison basically! It feels good to be sober 23 days sober!!!!!!

Thinking the drink through ,
1 hr , 2 hrs , 6 hrs , 12 hrs , 1 day, 1 week , 1 month , 1 year , 10 years is a good thing to do i recon ..
10 years might seem extreme but even at only 3 years into my new sober life the differences to my finances and relationships is huge .
keep on

No kidding! I had a great time and wasn't nervous driving home since I was sober!
Drove through some of the mayhem near the MGM and it's pretty interesting watching a bunch a drunk people when I use to be one of them.
Glad I didn't spend a dime on that fight!

(Shame about the fight though...)
