Survived a company event sober

Not one but two open bars, two different nights.

Still 88 days sober :slight_smile:

This was the first time I was really tempted in a long time. My boyfriend I live with doesn’t drink and knows every gory detail of my drinking history. So pretty obvious I’m not going to even bother. It would just be sad.

But… I used to drink a lot traveling. Airports, the anonymity. I’ve blacked out on a plane.

I used to get really drunk on work outings too. But actually I’ve got some neurological issues (or something) now and would be pretty afraid to drink or disrupt my sleep cycle.

Good for you. :smiling_face:
However, is it possible to avoid some of these events? Are there likely to be many more? If they made you tempted, even if you resisted this time, no point making your life harder than it needs to be.

I can’t. It’s a required event. I could try to skip the social portions but it’s really frowned upon.
