Day 68 done. I fly home tomorrow after spending a few days with friends on vacation. Iām pretty darn proud of myself for staying sober on this trip, given that everyone around me was drinking basically all day. I just said āIām not drinking right nowā to my friends and they (mostly) understoodāthere were a few moments here and there, but the folks who really mattered were kind to me and didnāt pressure me at all. I would even go so far as to say they actively supported meāone even brought me a Diet Coke while everyone else was pouring alcohol for themselves and I was just sitting in the corner.
I am also pleasantly surprised to find out that I can have a really good time with my friends without drinking alcohol. I knew it was possible, but I havenāt done it for so long that I guess I forgot what it was like. No hangovers, no headaches, no sleepy start to each morning, no worrying about keeping the buzz going, no worries about ākeeping upā versus āleading the packā in terms of consumption, and no missing out on things I wanted to do because of alcohol. This has been a very affirming experience for me.

What you so busy with at the moment?
I just remind myself of how sick I was when I decided it was time for a change this might help youā¦ It took a while to start feeling better
At the moment, training stuff for a new volunteer thing Iām exploring. I got very short notice about the training session and required reading, so Iāve been feeling pretty squished this weekend.

@Mr.kennedy you know that drinking will not solve anything. The world will not change but our hearts can change and that is a choice that all of us here we have done: sobriety.
Day 20 here, struggling but glad to be sober

Still here doing my thang.
Had a couple of moments where Iāve considered having a drink but then my mind flicks to thinking about how I will feel the day afterwards.
Both sets of thoughts have a bit of a wrestle in my mind but by the time the two sides have duked it out, I consider it too late and close to my new early bed time to bother acting on it.
The thoughts to go ahead with it are quite strong but really short lived so not particularly hard to shut down.
Theyāre not an every day thing either, just fleeting on the odd ocassion.
As quickly as those thoughts do arrive, theyāre gone again.
My desire to keep a clear head is way stronger than to feel hazy and crap.
Iāve been around guitars for most of my life but never bothered to learn them in the traditional way.
Heck, Iāve even rebuilt some.
Over the last week I decided to look up guitar tabs and I cannot believe I didnāt bother to learn properly before now.
Iāve managed to get the principle of about 5 songs.
Part of my problem before was why I should bother learning other peopleās material?
Answer I know now is to learn some ideas to steal and adapt to my own stuff.
