10000 times but I managed not to and I went to my first meeting

Not at all.

Was at a sports bar today. Annoying behavior and zero interest to have what they are having.

I lost the craving of being a loud, obnoxious, flirtatious, asshole a long time ago.

Yes at like 1210 am when my wife wanted to stay till the last of the party last night. The host was drunk and brings out a curvy glass of Belgian wheat and sits it right in front of me. But I just crossed my legs so I wouldn't see it.

I was tired and that's when I'm vernerable.

I don't want to drink but the allure is something I wrestle with

I haven't since and was very glad I didn't

Nope and I've never heard that as a "first question" at any of the probably 1000+ meetings I've been to.

I just lost interest in going to sports bars all together. They have nothing to offer me. When I was younger, I would succumb to peer pressure because I wanted to be "one of the guys" but now that I am older, I find I don't need that kind of stimulation anymore.

Bill I can make suggestions but they generally do what they are use to doing which is helping the newbies stay sober without getting too technical.

IM77, I know the feeling...been there and done that. What are your thoughts on the meeting?

Nope, today has been a good day and I'd like to keep it like that =) so far I'm sitting steady on now 9 months.

Yah Bob meetings in Tuscon I think Do that at meetings and then if anyone says Yes!! they try to keep the sharing directed towards the first 3 steps or maybe that was Oklahoma City ....In S Florida where I got sober they ask for a topic and you raise your hand and the chair picks you !!! In utah well I could on and on about meeting there:)))
Billy

Nope.

Bit of an extension on that, remember talking to my sponsor after had done the steps and saying you know I don't care anymore if I am or I am not an alcoholic, the truth I do not want to drink anymore because of the way I feel. Losing all that bullshit associated with drinking.

So guess that helps me not want to drink ever again

Big Fat 'NO"....

sticky, I guess we do things different up here in cold country but precious and everyone reading this, if you didn't have a drink today....give yourself a pat on the back!

No - I could not imagine anything more undesirable.

The question reminds me of a Christmas Eve a number of years ago when I went to the shop in the morning as normal. There were few Off Licence outlets at the time and I remember desperately searching for an open bar. Found a place eventually where the owner had the door open as he was cleaning up after the night before and I managed to get that first drink.

I would have been very unhappy if anyone had suggested that I could be an alcoholic at that time and there will probably be many drinkers doing the same this morning while denying that there is a problem.

Yes I do. This week with my eyes wide open I totally get why I drank so much. But I'm not going to because that will just add to my troubles and things will never get better.
