Turned it down

Hey all, nothing much to say except today I was at a bbq where everyone was drinking, I was asked on 3 separate occasions if I'd like a drink and I was like "no thanks, I'm good😊", it came out so easily, not much mental effort required. I am glad. Anyway, going to bed sober today!

It's the best feeling ever, Orchid. And as time goes by it rolls off the tongue like a sparkling mineral water.

Very happy for you Orchid. It's the best.

That's excellent news Orchid. I still feel awkward saying no to a drink so it's good that you were able to handle it so easily.

Nothing better than saying no to a drink and yes to a better way to live! Great job, Orchid.

I did a party thing sober the other day. I really noticed the lip-licking desperation of the few people who were there and clearly on a mission to get as drunk as possible on the free booze. (Would definitely have been me before.) More surprisingly, I also noticed that the vast majority of people there weren't drunk at all!

Every time we make it over these hurdles we grow stronger. Proud of you, Orchid.
