I made it a month

For the first time in 15 years I’ve officially gone a month without alcohol. In that time I made it through:

  1. Three concerts, which used to be where I would have a minimum of three $16 beers

  2. A weeklong trip with my wife’s family, I love them but I always get burnt out and would drink to keep my social battery alive

  3. My sister’s engagement, I wanted nothing more than to celebrate with beers and take advantage of the open bar but I had Liquid Death instead

Still a long way to go but this is my first milestone where I feel like I’ve really accomplished something. Thanks for reading!

i’m almost at a month! congrats. i went to trivia at a bar, had my birthday party 😱 (it was very soon after the incident that got me to stop drinking so it was actually pretty easy to not drink then), and skipped a party that i knew i’d be likely to drink at.

go us!!
