This is my first time posting but ive been reading everyones post since ive decided to start my sober journey 19 days ago.
Ive really appreciated all the posts as well as the other tools on this app as they have given me hope, understanding and encourgment through my ups and downs.
Im heading to a wedding this wee
kend with my sister (back home) where being sober isnt normal. My sister has said she would like to stay sober with me and i have asked my friend (the bride) if i can put bubbly behind the bar (she didnt even hesitate, she said YES! right away)
I think im mostly coming on here for support and to keep myself accountable. I am very excited to go and normally if i was drinking i would be super anxious. Now i just feel so proud of myself and physically i feel so good.

Welcome to the community Ashly and hell of a job with your 19 days of sobriety!
I am so grateful that you decided to post and share your journey with us. SO grateful for your sister and the bride for having your back. You can totally do this weekend sober and we will be right here if you need us. Smart to have your own drinks available (key is to have one in hand at all times so noone offers you a drink and you don’t feel left out with toasts and such).
Also - have an escape route in mind - somewhere you can go and hide if anything gets to be overwhelming.
You should be super proud of yourself and i’m grateful you are feeling the benefits of sobriety!
