So football season is about to start and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I went to rehab right before the season started last year and my relapse started sitting at a bar with a playoff game on. I'm doing better this time about enjoying things without a drink but alcohol is ingrained into the sports culture so I wonder how it will go.

I was the same way Jordan….. I couldn’t associate watching pro sports without a drink and getting shhh faced before the start of the 3rd QTR or 7th inning 
…. But one day I remembered how much I enjoyed watching the same games as a kid or before I started drinking. Today I can go to a game in person or on TV and not think about drinking … heck I even go with friends that drink and it doesn’t bother me. You’ll get there too just stay the course.

Alcohol is ingrained In many Sport, Cultural and Social events.
I would stay away from high risks situations such a bar, watch the game at home, do not let peer pressure mess with your sobriety.
