Stayed strong... phew

I’ve just moved in with my boyfriend and his parents came round tonight with celebratory drinks. I have said before that I dont drink and that I haven’t drank in over 100 days now. They opened the bottle anyway and seemed offended when I wouldn’t drink and they literally poured me a glass. I just left it on the grass outside. It’s kind of annoying how people find not drinking so strange and it does make it harder but I’m so glad I didn’t drink it. I am thankful for this group as I remembered all the comments people made the last time I wanted a drink, and I thought how rubbish I would feel resetting my timer

Hugs. Drinking is so ingrained in society people think u are somehow not celebrating if u don’t drink. That is society’s problem not urs. Congratulations on celebrating in a way that is healthy!

Sober muscles are starting to show! Well done! Show them the benefits of sobriety and maybe they’ll start to understand. Keep going :weight_lifting_woman:

Was that meant for moi?:smirk:

Life is good. Am getting insomnia from Wellbutrin (I think)…which is not good as I am getting up early to run. Started in therapy, that is going well. All in all much less anxious than I was.

How are you doing? I see your numbers going up!!!

yeah you :grin:

yeah back in the groove, took a while but no going back now. I’ve had so many things happen where normally I would pick up but I’ve not had one craving and I just can’t see any benefit in it anymore.
