Went to an event and still not a drop

Went to a monster truck show with my hubby and two boys . Fully expected to have one beer there . Only drink one, social event. No alcohol sold there !! Devine intervention at its best . I was ready to go get dinner , watch the football game, have a draft beer before heading home . Hubby didnt want to be out but said we could grab some wings and beer and go to the house . I didnt even think teice about it . I said no i dont want to drink at home. If it is a social setting i may have one but im not drinking at home anymore. SO I HAVE ANOTHER NIGHT UNDER MY BELT ! I am beyond proud of myself . Felt so weird saying no and meaning it . I would never pass up picking up alcohol . Its still hard dont get me wrong i think about drinking and not drinking all day and night . But at least im not acting on it .

You all help me so much . Anytime i feel like drinking and breaking my pledge i hop on here and get my motivation back . Thank you so much . Each of you are amazing . We got this !!

What a great achievement. Self control is really kicking in. I could see the different points where you tried to validate the opportunity to drink, and you managed to wipe it away.

Keep going if that’s what you truly want.

Be a Rock.

Way to go K!!! that is awesome news - Devine intervention for sure :wink: It really is all about retraining our minds and taking it one day at a time. Grateful to see you with one more day under your belt.
For me and social settings, i do look to see what possible alternative options are available. A friend just told me that you can get tube of flavors to add to water so if nothing else you can take those with you and mix to water if nothing else is available. I have not tried this yet but am excited to add this to my non alcoholic drink arsenal.

Love this - i too find comfort and motivation from this site. Grateful to have you with us!
