Day 27 – The First Round.
11:16 p.m.
Today completes the weekend. A weekend I did not spend at bars at all. Not because I didn’t want to face Alcohol (by now it’s obvious I can handle being around the same), but because other things came up. I did wanted to go to the bars and dance the night away. But! I noticed that I have numerous options to choose from to have fun. The end of this day concludes a weekend I “survived” without going to the clubs. And it felt nice. I liked the fact I got reminded how much fun I can have without having to “go out.” It was a nice refresher to have friends call you for help; to have them let you know how much they appreciate you; how important you are in there lives… The latter appropriate conversations when going to the movies or over dinner than a less intimate place like at a bar.
On another note, my Sober November is almost coming to an end. Call me cocky, but I am already feeling victorious. If I went through weeks without a drop of alcohol, I’ll handle a couple of days with ease. And yes, I am probably going t celebrate with a drink or too. However, I have to say that this Sober experienced has put many things into perspective. I learned very much while standing on “the other side.” So I believe I might keep it up from time to time. How would I schedule my Soberness? Meh. Don’t want to think about it now. To be honest, I might just let it happen. I am pretty sure I’ll wake up some of the days with a craving of Club Sodas and Lime rather than Whiskey Sours.
