3 days sober I feel great! I bartended last night

3 days sober I feel great! I bartended last night and swore on my kids I would not drink. It was hard but I stayed strong whenever I got an urge I chugged water. It felt amazing to make $ not worry about being drunk & jeopardizing my job & most importantly being able to be a normal mom this morning & be up & active with my babies & not hung over. I hope and pray I can keep this going. Drinking hasn’t done anything good but ruin me & hurt my loved ones. When im sober I like myself better.

It must have been interesting to be straight and watch the world drink around you and while you observe and stay outside the influence…good for you!

Whoo.... bartending is actually a lot of fun when you're staying sober. Remember, being sober isn't just all you're about. Cutting other people off reminds you repeatedly to keep yourself cut off.

I'm with you. I work at a bar on weekends (door) and I'm almost a year sober. It was hard to think about doing at first but eventually it's a nice reminder why I'm sober lol. There's days I wish I could get a drink after but again, just thinking about what I see in a night, I'm alright. Stay strong! It gets better and you already feel better!
