I need to have a a day of fun like a girls day. But how do you that sober? How do I cook sober? How do I clean sober? How do I do anything sober? I am realizing now how much of my frustration the past few days is that I feel as though I have to relearn how to do a lot of stuff sober. Wow!

I’m just starting to get back into watching sports …. I was like …I only watched sports because it always involved drinking and drugs but then after month 7 or 8 of being sober I was like wait…. I loved watching sports way before I started drinking.

This was such a realization for myself too. I remember being in rehab and being like okay now I’m sober but like… what does sober look like? Such a trip.

I used to drink and pop pills every waking hour. Now, I’ve gone to the beach numerous times,
seen two rock concerts, gone to two Spurs games, survived New Years, eaten pizza, and I cook almost every night without any mind altering substance. At first I thought about how good a nice cold beer would be or a glass of Merlot. Now I can remember the things I do and I don’t have to worry if I made a fool of myself somewhere, and believe me I saw some heavy drinking at the concerts not to mention the whiffs of weed. It gets easier as you go along. I’m not saying that I never think about how good it would be if… Then I remember that I won’t stop drinking until I’m drunk, blacked out or past out. For me, life’s better sober and I chose that life. I bet you can say those things too!!

Part of the New adventure of sobriety is doing new things sober..
Your first date. Your first healthy friendship. Concerts, karaoke, picnics, trail walks, the list is only limited by your time. I strongly recommend your first few outings be with trusted healthy friends. AA members you know and like are a good start. I've gone to concerts, went to college, and was married and divorced sober...if you're committed to Sobriety 1st and work the steps as written in the Big Book..you'll have time to experience more than you dreamt.
