On the night of the 33rd day sober I started my count over. I am 5 days, going on 6 now.
Saturday night we decided to have a few drinks to see how we handled ourselves following that. I just wanted to share with everyone that it was actually a good experience for me and I learned something from it. I did not get drunk, I had three beers. But I didn't enjoy it either.. it wasn't fun. It's lost it's thrill for me. The idea sounds nice in my head but I truly think I could keep light drinking to occasional social events only. [those are very rare for me, btw] The next day I did not regret having a drink at all. I was proud of myself for not enjoying it THEN I was even more proud of sitting down on the couch that night to continue my now-sober life with a bowl of popcorn and a movie. It feels good being sober. Thank you everyone for your support, I will, of course, keep posting in this forum for continuing support but this community should take a moment to realize how important it is.
