That is a good way of thinking about it, you know what is going to work best for you. You know yourself the best and therefore you need to follow your gut instinct. You have made really great progress with your drinking! I am proud of you for that and you should be proud too!
Enjoy the weather, drink "virgin" drinks on those patios and smile proudly!
I hear ya, and I understand what you are saying. I was sort of the same way before, my drinking would really depend on my mood that day/night. I think if we are in one of those moods where we want to drink so much, we need to surround ourselves with good friends and let them know the mood we are in.. and hopefully do other things while everyone is drinking. Play games, go bowling, do STUFF! LAUGH, LAUGH, LAUGH! You know the belly-aching type laughter?
I just want to welcome you to the site. I read through this forum and it was great to hear the changes you are going to make in your life. I think that you have definitely made the first step and are on your way to a "better" you. Or better yet, going back to that fun and energetic version of you. Either way, I just want you to know that we are here for you and we are listening. Please post as much as you need to.
Welcome to our site and I have to say that this site has really helped me. I have been sober for over 6 months now and I attribute a lot of my success to this site. I stumbled upon this site after a terrible weekend of drinking, where I had destroyed many friendships and my relationship. I lost the trust of everyone I cared about; but, I came here and it was what I needed to make a lasting change for the better. I have proved to my friends and boyfriend (we salvaged our relationship :) ) that I am bound and determined to do what it takes to stay sober. I had done many terrrible things while drinkings, said many terrible things and embarassed myself in front of important people. Anyway, I can relate to what you are going through and I want you to know that we are here for you. Post lots, use the program and do this for you!
