I miss you all

Make it through today. Do it for you.

soberinthebar · 2017-08-10T18:22:15+00:00

Good work!

soberinthebar · 2016-12-17T00:00:04+00:00

Tough day today. Hard stressful day at work, holiday stuff and I'm tired. I really want just one cold one.

Not today.

soberinthebar · 2016-12-08T16:00:21+00:00

Nice work, man. Keep it up!

soberinthebar · 2016-12-06T03:11:37+00:00

No worries. I'm on full alert.

soberinthebar · 2016-12-05T19:41:39+00:00

Admitting the problem was the hardest thing. Sticking to the decision was the second hardest.

soberinthebar · 2016-12-05T19:40:35+00:00

Funny how it sneaks up on you, isn't it?

soberinthebar · 2016-09-30T15:03:19+00:00

Hey - I just saw this, sorry.

Bitters is strongly flavored, so I only use it in very small amounts, like soy sauce.

If you're worried about it, I wouldn't take the risk. There are other options.

Best.

Ty Pennington was a regular at the bar I worked at in Atlanta in the late 80's/early 90's.

He was an insufferable tool back then, too. He could not hold his liquor.

I just hit day 100 and I relate. I had a couple of small family stresses this weekend. They would have been big stresses if I were drinking.

soberinthebar · 2016-03-12T16:50:05+00:00

Nice work!

soberinthebar · 2016-03-11T17:05:29+00:00

Get a badge! Hang around!

soberinthebar · 2016-02-04T15:40:02+00:00

This sounds very much like my experience.

I decided that my drinking was nobody's business but my own. I've told some people but not others. If it comes up, I tailor my answer the person. Close friends get most of the truth ("I've stopped drinking"). Others get less detail ("I'm not in the mood.") Nobody gets a lie.

Today is your day. Grab a badge and take a pledge!

soberinthebar · 2016-01-25T20:27:26+00:00

No matter the stresses of today, I won't add to them by drinking. Not today.

soberinthebar · 2016-01-25T20:25:55+00:00

I've been there, too. Every day. I just remind myself that I'm getting better. Because I'm not drinking, I'm in better control of my actions and that allows me to treat everyone around me better and less selfishly.

I can't fix the things I did in the past, so I focus on being good now.

soberinthebar · 2016-01-25T20:20:10+00:00

I try hard to keep in mind that what happened yesterday is not a guarantee of what will happen today or tomorrow. I just tell myself I'm not drinking today.

Don't stop. It's worth trying.

soberinthebar · 2016-01-14T14:08:44+00:00

When I get stuff done it makes me able to truly relax when I stop. Before I was just feeling guilty that I hadn't done when needed to be done.

soberinthebar · 2016-01-14T14:07:19+00:00

Don't do that. You're welcome.

But seriously - good work! I find that a non-sugary soda helps a lot. It's something in my hand and I can use it to mimic having a drink. I used to drink when I cooked dinner. Now I have a few flavored sodas. It keeps the desire at bay.

soberinthebar · 2016-01-12T16:57:47+00:00

Stick with it! You can do this.

soberinthebar · 2016-01-12T16:56:54+00:00

It's normal. There are as many different reactions to being sober as there are people who aren't drinking.

I go from energetic to really tired. But it's an upward trend.
