I was debating on whether or not I should even go, but the free meal decided me. I was a little worried that I would be tempted to drink, but I really wanted to celebrate the end of our busy season with my coworkers. And... I was fine. No cravings, enjoyed being the sober person at the party for probably the first time in my life. Laughed at how drunk some people managed to get, smiled to myself knowing I wasn't going to be nursing a hangover tomorrow. Enjoyed the food.
No one cared at all about my not drinking (not that I really expected them to), but several people noticed and remarked on it. I didn't give any reason, just said, "No," when people asked if I was drinking. Drove home without the slightest concern about being pulled over, whereas in years past I was always worried if my BAC was low enough. Home curled up on my couch now, with a bunch of blue Naked smoothies in the refrigerator. Over three weeks sober now, and I think I could get used to living like this.
