Thank you all. I'm still sober. Put myself to the test again yesterday. I went to Harrahs Casino. Sitting there at the machines watching the people next to me ordering beers, white russians, the whole works. I stuck to my water and sprite and made it through with no major urges to drink. I had one waitress ask me why the heck i dont want a drink with liquor in it when people my age usually are drinking heavily in there. I just told her its not my day to do that. She said your in AA are you. I told her no, but i am eager to be sober and doing well so far. She said i'm also on that road and its hard for her with having to serve all those mixed drinks, but she's doing okay with it.
I really never expected to hear that. And no, i didnt win a thing. Wasnt lucky on the machines yesterday.
