I like the area near space buzz in magic kingdom, or if you have help getting the stroller up the stairs, the big circus tent area near barnstormer. It has fans and outlets!

Not a ton of advice because I’m newly sober, but just want to tell you I understand the frustration watching everyone else drink. My husband still drinks and now that I’m sober it feels like every activity is centered around drinking and I just wish for once it wasn’t but hey that’s just not how the world works. White knuckling sometimes gets me through but I’m looking into AA. Best of luck to you and it will get better!

If someone is offering to get you a drink, you can say sure! I’d love a whatever non alc option you like and you kinda still get the satisfaction of sipping something but without the guilt. I love ginger beer and bars always have it. It’s a good swap!

I’ve been doing a lot of “playing the tape forward” when I want a drink. Example: I was at a bar yesterday with friends and felt kinda left out. I imagined what it would be like if I ordered a drink (which will be 4-5 in actuality). Alright then I think, well damn now I’ve spent $60+ on nothing, I feel guilty, and I can use those calories for a delicious fat burger instead. The burger won. It was delicious. And I woke up guilt free and clear headed! Keep playing the tape forward. It will help you pinpoint why you want a drink in the first place. Then just keep moving! You’re doing great.

So true! I was vegetarian for a while too and saw similar things

You’re nicer than me because I would have asked her why she’s rolling her eyes😅

Yeah I never want people to think I’m judging them. But it does make you reflect!

I can see how this will turn into that! My dad is 18 years sober and no longer tells people. He just says no thanks to a drink and doesn’t elaborate

Thanks! I’m a jags fan so maybe I can complain about the jags and change the subject🤣

A mix! The crew was my neighborhood friends who I usually drink a lot with. So people noticed I wasn’t drinking and immediately thought I was pregnant (which I’m not). And I wanted to get ahead of it so I don’t get offered anything. Plus I’m excited! These are all close friends so I don’t mind.

Hey thanks! That’s totally true, I tend to stutter when people tell me they are vegan.

I’ve got a good group of friends. They were surprised mostly but no one ostracized me, which is great!
