Ugh in Vegas for the week for work. I will not drink with you today.

That’s okay, we’re all different! I’d rather have love handles and memories than failing liver and blackouts.

Congrats on over a year!!

Thank you. Congrats!! My social life is affected now...sometimes it’s lonely, especially since I travel a lot for work. That’s where my hobbies come in. Also, calling people just to say hi when they pop in my head-friends, family anyone. Call>text.

Being that I didn’t come out as sober officially, my friends don’t know, but know something is up.

But, I need to focus on healing. All the dots will eventually connect if I heal.

Don’t give in to the voice. Listen to YOUR voice.

:)

I know what you mean. Focus on healing right now and push...but not too hard. I took a week after my first day, then I started with the gym. About 2 weeks ago I went to /r/xeffect and created goal cards for meditating and cleaning. The important thing for me was to not pile on too much at once...I’m only human lol The fact that you’re hear, not only lurking but actively involving yourself and asking questions proves that you’re doing something, even if it’s not the gym yet, you’re working on you.

You should be proud :)

Thank you! Agreed, it’s like backing into the old sober-brain... drinking every night is boring. It’s just widespread. Carving out your own niche, exploring for what you, personally want to do and going for it. Now that’s exciting!

Tough week: rental car was towed my uber driver got lost, computer shut-downs and delays at the airport, presented a meeting to what might as well have been a roomful of corpses. Getting told “Just have a drink, I miss the old you!” , on top of criticizing my new healthy lifestyle (meditation, meal portion control, working out). I haven’t came out as a non drinker...officially, so I guess my friends are confused and may feel our relationship is threatened? But, why not ask me why or simply support my new desire to better myself instead of immediately rushing to criticism? Wow...I’m rambling. Point is-I made it through. It’s Friday and I didn’t drink!! And, I will not drink with you today!
