One down, two to go

After today, I will have completed one month out of my three. I’d like to say it was a easy month and it fiew by with happiness and joy. But my mother always told me not to lie. The month brought me self control issues, friendship dramas, sever doubt that I could actually do HSM. And the month certainly didn’t speed up for me out of resepect for my pain. In fact I do believe it did the complete opposite as punnishment. Having said all that it does bring me some human emotion, that I can’t put a name to, that I have in fact completed one month. But then it’s also “Wow, I’ve only done one month…” I just hope it’s all down hill from here as i’ve experienced all the social events I thought there was; stone cold sober.

I’m two weeks into my 3 month challenge and I feel i’m at a point. Had my first outing on the town sober and had a really good night. However felt like I had to be always smiling as my friends knew I wasn’t drinking, therefore if I didn’t smile- I wasn’t having a good time..? Although I loved been able to remember the whole night the next morning, and could actually jolt my friends memory to certain events instead of it been the other way around for once. Some friends have no idea why i’m doing it, and have uttered the famous ‘Just have one drink..’ but i’m trying not to preach to them as I feel to do this challenge you have to have come to it yourself. It would be nice to not have to defend why i’m not drinking and that i’m not going to start [...]
