Went to a friend reunion party tonight. First party ive been to since ive stopped drinking.
I was not tempted to drink and I had a wonderful time being sober and present in that moment. Its so rewarding to know that what im feeling is not because of being under the influence, but its just because of me, my own feelings. And i was able to enjoy myself more than i ever have at a party.
It also was helpful that many people were sober there too, and no one got wasted. It was definitely an adult party and people being responsible.
I never thought it was possible to enjoy a party sober, or not have a crazy, go all out party. I was so wrong.
