Feeling solid in my sobriety I went out solo last

Feeling solid in my sobriety I went out solo last night to get out of the house. Sat at the bar and drank my tonic and lime, no urges to drink. BUT, I had forgotten about being around drinking, people act stupid. I’m so glad that’s not me anymore

Whoa dude. Be careful. lol
When I describe how I see drunk people now, I mention the sleepwalking scene from Step Brothers. lol

Thanks man, actually an AA brother owns the bar (he got sober later) so I was amongst friends too. Sometime it’s good to see and remember. But when the woman 10 years older than me is hanging on me drunk, it’s time to go home (alone lol)

So true. It amusing to an extent and can be kind of sad. It’s great being on the other side of the bottle. Great job.

Thanks Simon. It’s been 2+ years, I live single in a small town so unless I want to isolate outside of meetings, I need to venture out into the real world every so often. It is funny and sad, but I’m just glad it’s not me. And my tonic was on the house from AA friend so I nothing, a Saturday night used to cost several hundred. My kid can go to college now🤪
