I am going to my first after work party since I quit drinking. I was always one of the regulars who would go to the FACs and on more than one occasion get sucked into the party, stay out way to late, ignore my family and feel like crap the net day. I have been avoiding them, but this one I have to go to. I am a little apprehensive about going. I think I am probably using this post as a stalling tactic.
I don't 100% trust myself yet. Oh to just be able to have a couple of beers with friends on a Friday night. Well, I have to get this first out of the so I am just going to go. I am expecting certain party buddies from the past to ask why I am drinking a lifewater. I plan to saying I gave alcohol up for Lent. Well...here goes!
Good luck! Just imagine yourself beforehand (if you get this in time) staying sober and having great chats that you are proud of until late in the night. Imagine yourself doing that... put those images in your head and that might make it easier to achieve. All the best xxx
