Onto day 18 and feeling good. So last weekend I was away even went to a bar for 3 1/2 hours held, true to myself and had no problems keeping my sobriety. This weekend headed to my Sister’s in Iowa for 3 days. This is worrying me. She is not a big drinker but will be the one to challenge me to have one drink with her. over and over again. She can have a few drinks…I cannot. I an bringing diet dew, cherry bubbly water, jerky, veggies, gum, a CD nuts. Unless this is my booze brain trying to convince me that this is going to happen so cave into reality…
May the Lord give me strength and courage

Maybe it helps to tell your sister about the new not drinking you. So she would not ask you for a drink and can incourage you?

Well done on last weekend, Sandy!
When I recently had a hard day coming up that I knew my “booze brain” would be talking, I visualized alternative scenarios with my ‘sober brain’ for several days ahead of time.
Sober Brain for the win!!

Thank you all…oh she’ll know as soon as I walk in the door😊 but I will have a discussion with her as well. After all we are sisters that can come with some advantages and maybe afew disadvantages.i think it’s me worrying something that may or may not happen. The Lord says do not worries about tomorrow leave your worries up to me. I may come through this just fine. Please give me strength and encouragement
So my Sister weekend was a sober success
Going home feeling really happy and healthy. Friday night everyone drank but me and I was ok with it. Saturday night only 1 person drank and I was ok with that too. Not sure if that was out of respect for me… but I feel good. I got to spend quality time with my sister and her family not clouded over and grey under ther influence. Just wonderful time
