5 weeks sober
Was tempted last night when I went out to dinner but I got water and ordered my meal. Soon the temptation went away and I was proud of myself for putting my head on the pillow alcohol free.

Sorry for your feelings you are having right now. Your continued sobriety is amazing. I can’t tell you to feel better but can say set aside some time to do your favorite things.
Hope you find some joy.

Thanks @Cjp, @tailee17, @Lisa07,@Bomdhil, @JazzyS, @Laraellelarissa
I have been stressed. Overall life is pretty good. Venting helped. The support helped more. Sharing a little of my experience, strength and hope with someone I related to helped even more.
My fishing partner bought me dinner. The restaurant has a bar. All of our restaurants do. its a small town and I know everyone. The drunks who I used to drink with were annoying. One tried to buy me a beer and it made my skin crawl. I ate my burger, I’m back home in the safety of my alcohol free zone feeling grateful that I’m no longer one of those annoying drunks at that bar talking about all the things I’m going to do while I’m too drunk to anything but drink more.
Now, I’m sober and stressing over maintaining everything I’ve achieved in recovery!
I’m lucky to be alive. Sometimes I need a reminder when life feels hard.

I find this helps me sometimes when I’m feeling the same way. Particularly the part about being around dumb annoying drunks. Glad you’re home and had a good burger. 
Thanks for keep us posted.
