Sober bartender

My sobriety has been going great! I don’t really have an inkling to drink when I see others drink. I had company at my house last weekend and they were drinking my go-to and I didn’t have a sip.

This weekend however I will be bartending. Because I was always the bartender for family events. Last time I was sober and bartended for a family event I had other people taste it for me. And I imagine I can do the same thing this time.

Not sure why I’m weary this time around. I know I can do it if I keep my eye on the prize.

If you’re comfortable, ok. However, if not, remember recovery is about change. Recovery is about boundaries. Recovery is about the new you. You don’t have to do something just because that’s what you always used to do. It may cause some discomfort the first few times, but you and the family will adjust. Either way, don’t drink any everything will be fine

Everyday life is uncomfortable, often. We can't crumble everytime things get itchy. That's what we did in our former lives.

Hang in there.
