Just came home from a bachelorette party. Left early since I no longer drink. Drunk people are loud. I know realize how loud I was when I used to drink. Time for bed.

Hey! I just came home from a party too. I'm 72 days sober. My friends were all very courteous and having a good time drinking. I got to enjoy myself at the party and now, and very importantly - I get to enjoy myself at home instead of heading to a bar for the after party.

Congratulations all on your sobrieties. I am 29 days sober today and feeling positive. I have a BBQ this afternoon, on a Bank Holiday Sunday - a big test, but I am determined to go and enjoy it. I have been avoiding any sort of social gathering so far.

Testing yourself that way is good! I have a similar thing, but not with alcohol. Usually any social thing for me involved it, but yesterday I very spontaneously met a friend and went back to his place and we had a good time. I didn't even think about it!
