Last night was amazing… I went to a pre-party where there was drinking and I wasn’t even tempted. The host, one my best friends, knows that I am on a clean & sober path and I felt safe in his home. I also was open and honest with the other guests that offered to poor a drink for me and I was not offered anything else after that. It helped that there other guest in recovery at the pre-party.
At the club, I wasn’t triggered at all. In fact, when we arrived I could clearly see some people were already a mess, and they were a great reminders of what I did not want to be.
The music was my drug and dancing was my high. I had a great time and saw folks I had not seen in a few years; some maybe almost a decade.
For years I thought I needed a drink or a drug to have a fun night out… that was proven wrong last night.
PS: I got in a lot of cardio last night… God knows how long I was dancefloor.
