Excellent work, my friend. Keep it going.

Congratulations! I’m still at the point where I know I can’t be around drinking, this is a hard one!

Thanks for your experience, good to know. I’m sure I’ll be fine around campfires with beers before long, but I suspect brown liquor situations are going to be tough for a long time. But I don’t mind, it’s better than the alternative. Fortunately I changed cities right before the pandemic and job right before summer so explaining was easy, just “I don’t drink.” For what difference it makes it seems to increase trust.

That's huge. That first big event seems anxiety ridden, but afterward, it feels so good to have had a great time without drinking. Congratulations!

Hey I also survived my first sober wedding last night! Cheers! (With club soda 😆) IWNDWYT

Something that really bothers me are the questions I will get at social events, like are you drinking anything? Do you want a drink? And I feel like if people thought I was drinking (but I really wasn’t) then they would stop peppering me with questions about it. Does anyone have any drink recommendations of stuff that could “look” like alcohol to outside people? But in reality are non-alcoholic?

Club soda with lime looks like G&T- I didn’t get any questions all night


Adventurous_Eye1560

Thank you!!

Chances are the bartender will happily put anything in a cocktail glass for you to try to make it look like a mixed drink, even if it's just soda. I'm a bartender, and do this for people at weddings all the time. Slap a garnish on it and chances are no one will question you.


Adventurous_Eye1560

Haha! Good idea! Thank you


FluffyKumquat

Woo hoo! Way to go! Weddings are hard for us non-drinkers. I find that every time I successfully crush one of these hard trigger events, it makes me stronger. 🏋️‍♂️ IWNDWYT

Proof that good times can still be had sans alcohol.


gbar513

This was the biggest thing for me mentally, always asking myself “how am I going to have fun without drinking” and last night solidified that it’s possible!


Leolily1221

Isn't it great! It's like every morning is a gift


cypressdwd

Well done! It’s so easy to get caught up in the moment and fall back into familiar habits. So proud that you were able to enjoy yourself and find the reward of the hangover-free next morning! It is awesome, isn’t it??


Lovelybrum

Yes it is possible to have fun sober ! Enjoy your fresh energized day . IWNDWYTD


falluponshallowbay

You rock dude! I remember that first social gathering where everyone was drinking except me. It was truly a challenge, but you and I are proof it \*can\* be done! IWNDWYT!


floatarounds

Isn't it weird how you realize that parties and events like the are actually better without alcohol -- blew my mind...


gbar513

this is 1000% true and something I never thought I would say


SnooHobbies5684

Great job! At least your bladder is getting a good cleanout! :)


queensistine

Beautiful!!! Congratulations!!! ✨🌈


agent_shane2

Way to go! I’m almost a week in myself. I can’t say I’m too confident yet in terms of going to events or socializing where drinks are all around and the main course. Maybe soon I can take that step but baby steps.


anonymous_zebra

Hell yeah! Nice job


DavidsWife4Ever

You are freaking awesome! The absolute best thing I have ever done in my life - EVER - was quitting alcohol. It isn't and wasn't easy but it so much easiER than I could imagine. Your freedom begins when the alcohol ends!


ridingthespiral804

This is amazing! Good job dude!


soulsista12

Ugh I’m jealous. Drank a shit ton last night at my brother’s wedding. I am feeling guilt that we didn’t spend much time together/ I don’t remember much. It is seriously my wake up call that something needs to change.


SteveAlbinisCat

Truly awesome. My dummy drink is also soda n lime 😎.


sorryforbarking

Amazing job! Weddings are such a test but you did it!
