Kinda nervous, not sure what tomorrow will bring but tonight I’m going to attempt to grill food and not have a drink. Grilling and beer go hand in hand for me. It’s gonna be tough

You got this!
Try to have a non alcoholic beverage in your hand. The times I did go without drinking and being out Id always find that just having something in my hand helped curb the desire to grab a beer.
Thanks guys, I just passed the first step, going into the store and not coming out with any alcohol.

It's funny how we associate so much with drinking. Especially when we first get sober. I try to always associate any activity with sobriety now. Even stuff as mundane as cutting the grass or doing some project. It gets easier. Best wishes!

A lot of my association is in my head, once I do whatever I feared it was easy. You got this brother!
All good advice! Knowing a trigger is a big one. It gets easier my friend. I got a trigger coming up that I’m aware of and I’m preparing for it. It’s when a family member comes to town. There will be get togethers and there will be drinking. I just know I got to drive myself to them so I can leave at any time. Good luck David
David. I’m only a few days in. And same!
You can do it! 24 hrs at a time!
