Tests of willpower

Hellloooo,

I thought I’d check in, 40 days sober!
I had a bit of a test of willpower last night and passed with flying colors ans feel really great about it.
2 of my best friends ( in my Covid bubble of course) and I had dinner, they did ‘dry January’ and decided to open a bottle of wine last night… I didn’t even think twice about it and turned it down and honestly had such a lovely evening sober. I was afraid that I wouldn’t … that I’d be anxious the whole time with them drinking next to me but it was quite the opposite…they even said they’ve noticed a shift in me since getting sober, that I seem happier and I truly am. Still taking it day by day but I felt really proud of myself

Congratulations on 40 days. And go right ahead and feel proud about not drinking while friends are drinking. I always kept a wine glass full of sparkling water in the early days. The reality is, people are going to drink, and Today we are not. Booze is everywhere and we can’t control that. Good job. No Great job!! Keep up the great work. Your worth it. And your gonna love the way sobriety makes you feel.
