4 weeks down
It was a tough 4 weeks, but in that time I accomplished things that I never thought I could get through sober. Luckly, week 1 was easy because my dad (who has been sober for 7 years) happened to have a dart tournament in my town that I attend college in. I told him my intent to stop drinking and he was very supportive. Week 2 was a little harder. I told all of my friends and co workers that I was "taking a break" from drinking. I still went out with everybody, celebrated 2 birthday's (one was a 21st) and had a fun time being sober. Week 3 One of my friends came down to party. This was the first time I was really tempted to drink. I decided not even to attempt to go out with him and worked late both nights. He went out with some of our other friends, and I still got to hang out with him Saturday during the day. This weekend my college hockey team made it to the frozen four ( AKA huge party weekend). I decided to pick up a shift at work and catered to a school sponsored frozen four party so I still got to watch the game. Yesterday another good friend of mine came to visit. When I got off work I was so close to just giving in, but instead I finished some homework, took a shower to think things through, then decided not to drink but go out and still have a great time. Today I plan to work till midnight, make some money and get 1 day closer to 30 days!
