Lion's Den

I went into the "Lion's den" tonight and did great!  My neighbor/friend invited me and my family for a soup bar.  Going to this friend's house in the past always meant getting wasted, and one of them would inevitably have to drive me home and make sure that I made it into my house.  I had so much fun, even though other drank around me.  I was able to laugh and have conversations that I will remember tomorrow, and the next day will not be wasted trying to recover from a hangover.  This was a huge step for me, as I have been avoiding social situations where I might be tempted to drink.  I am so proud of myself.  I can have fun, and be fun, even sober.  This was a big worry of mine.
