Going out with friends that drink and having the temptation to drink.
You’re going to have to make the hard decision of letting go of your friends either permanently or temporarily if you’re serious about staying sober
You only have to change 1 thing-EVERYTHING🤙
Have an escape plan. Drive yourself. Have a sober buddy to call or text… the moment you feel the “eff it” moment get outta there. Don’t tell your friends you are leaving, just leave. Small steps. It took me months before I would go with drinkers. You can make it through, but be ready to walk away.
Good luck! I'm feeling you right now. I'm stuck at a charity event for another 2 hours
How did you do Mandy?
I hang out with a buddy who drinks sometimes, and I don't drink. Last time the bar tender made me some delicious moktails ( I asked her to be creative, which she enjoyed). And, even though I did not drink I still had plenty of courage to ask her if she'd like to get pregnant since we are both really tall and our kids would be beautiful! She was undecided at that time.
Hope it went well; and you had good friend time and weren’t tempted.
