First party

Made it through my first party with friends without drinking. I drank sparkling water all night out of a tumbler with ice. I'm a vodka drinker and none of my friends noticed it wasn't my usual vodka tonic. I felt socially awkward for the first hour or so but then I got over it and had a fantastic time and was able to connect with my friends better than I expected. Still not ready to share the fact that I'm not drinking yet with my friends, but feeling good all the same.
