I loved getting drunk at bars and watching football. Today will be first time not being able to do that.
Not gonna lie kind of missing it. I have to stay strong on this app and look at all the great things sobriety has given me last few weeks.
I can still eat wings and mozz stix! Go Dolphins and happy football.
I get that and remember it from the start of my type of football season (European here). It takes time but you will learn to like watching sports sober, and also more so than watching it under the influence. You’ll actually see what happens 
I don’t like getting drunk at bars no more. But I don’t miss that either. Not at all. It’s an adjustment but once that’s made it will be better. Keep going and you’ll find out. Enjoy the game Grant.
I get what you are saying, and when i started this path, i had those feelings…and then I was told…
What exactly do you miss. As human beings, often times our memories are often nostalgic…Nostalgia is often skewed to a certain point of view. If you look at, realistically, what drinking brought to the table…do you really miss it.
You know there’s definitely a learned association that has to be unlearned. And yeah, drinking can be fun. For some people the stakes are too high to do that. FOMO is real, but also ask if you can enjoy football sober.
I dont miss “oh,just one more”…“stay till the end of the half”…blah, blah,blah…
Be well on your journey,
If watching a game right now is too crave-inducing remember you can do something else and catch the highlights tomorrow. There are options.
Hey, Grant! One day you’ll turn that phrase, “I can’t “ to “I don’t want to”. And you will celebrate that victory. Stay strong!
I am from Miami and a huge dolphin fan. Yea, sober or not sober i am a fan. I went out watched games and it was super fun. There was an urge in the beggining, but after a second or two i just didnt find it worth it for so many reason. The farther i get away from my drunkness the easier it is to want to say no. Reading over my notes and journals have really helped
