And the sky didn’t fall. And nobody looked at you funny from another booth. And look at how good you feel from that milestone!!

“There’s no growth in the comfort zone and there’s no comfort in the growth zone”. Isn’t it awesome to do stuff that’s uncomfortable for us and then feel AMAZING later because of it. Awesome job…..now I want a burrito

That is a great show of will power and you should be proud of that moment. There is a but if I may. Is that a favorite spot to eat where you usually have drinks? I would caution against placing your self in precarious situations that require a choice without practiced tools in your bag. If you are an alcoholic like me and you bieng so early in recovery your brain may deceive you. Cunning and powerful an alcoholics allergy is powerful.

Thank you
Going out to eat without drinking is still one of the hardest parts of sober life. I used to love to try new beers or spirits. Not to mention it would loosen me up a bit. So you should be very proud!
