Stayed sober on vacation!

[bif]

Just got back from visiting my daughter and S-I-L in CA. Most evenings they drank and chatted while I remained sober. It sure gets boring after about an hour. My wife is very understanding and the last night we were there, they got fairly hammered. She knows how bored I get and she kindly suggested I go upstairs and watch a movie which I certainly welcomed. It does get easier, but it's never really easy.

One thing I discovered over time was that I did not care to be around people that were drinking when I was sober....You are doing great..

2. I hear ya, bif..

28 years sober here, I know exactly what you're talking about, how big the challenge is and how important your success is.

I've managed to put a bunch of days together, thanks to the early (and continuing) support of my wife of 35 years.

Congratulations on your success. I'm rootin' for ya to succeed in the next challenge.
