Bought four bottles of wine today...
...but I'm not going to drink it! I don't even WANT to drink it! My good friend is having a party this weekend and wine ended up being the best option for me to contribute. If I felt ANY sort of temptation or like it was a threat to my sobriety, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to it, but I feel completely fine about it! I got the wine today because she wanted specific brands and I wanted to have the task all finished. The wine is currently in my trunk, and I have absolutely zero desire to drink it whatsoever! By the way, my friend knows I am not currently drinking, but she doesn't know I actually have a problem with it. I have chosen not to share this with anyone. So she's not doing anything wrong.
I've only been sober 3.5 months, and what is amazing to me is that the more time goes by, the more I am enjoying it, and the worse alcohol sounds. I am looking forward to enjoying this party sober this year - no hangover or regrets the next day, no worry about driving or ubering home. In the last 3.5 months, I have been around alcohol many times and felt no desire to drink, however I am not going to get complacent and will continue to work on my sobriety every single day. The last thing I want is to lose my momentum because I get overly confident.
Anyway, just thought I would share. Thanks for reading, and IWNDWYT.
