Just a quick note: I had a lot of anxiety about yesterday’s holiday party from my company. Since I have only been sober for two months, I thought I would have massive cravings or would be triggered to having a drink.

Instead, I didn’t have any cravings or triggering situation at all. I even found it interesting to watch other colleagues becoming more and more drunk.

I don’t regret not drinking at all and I don’t feel any pressure to have drinks at a social meeting (as of now).

I really think the DECIDING not WANTING to drink makes the difference:

If I bought “I may never drink again”, that would be remorseful and a massive use of willpower to maintain sobriety.

The decision to think “I want never to drink again” or “I decide to never (want) to drink again” makes a big difference and sustains your status as a sober person a lot more than lamenting about how you want a drink when others do.

So: Massive thankfulness here.

Until next time: Take one step at a time and keep up your faith in yourself
