    I’ve been stressing about meeting up with this executive for a mentoring session at a bar he proposed. Supposedly really great atmosphere, huge selection of whiskey, and amazing cocktails for weeks. Not very sober friendly, but I cold called him to meet up and didn’t wanna open with “I’m sober, can we try some place else?”

    I just this morning realized I can go back to my classic order of seltzer and lime. Maybe next time we get coffee. IWNDWYT

      Good bartenders like the challenge of making a tasty mocktail! I like something based around ginger beer and let them handle the rest. 😁

      Fuck that’s rough. Since I’m still new at this whole actively choosing not to drink thing, I haven’t been brave enough to try anywhere that serves alcohol. I know it’ll happen eventually, I can’t avoid them forever, so I’m really liking the idea of having a “back pocket drink” where you don’t even tempt yourself by looking over a cocktail menu.Thats a great idea, and you’re the second person I’ve seen espousing that advice.

      Seltzer and lime is hella refreshing, looks like a bar drink, and won’t draw unwanted attention. You got this! Think about how much more value you’re going to get out of this mentoring session when you’re clear headed and in control. It’s pretty exciting! 🙌

      Just ordered one of the cocktails w/o bourbon. Too easy. Half the price and it tasted fancier than the seltzers I’ve been pounding. Win win.

    I will not be drinking today. Last night I was a watching a tv show; at some point there was someone enjoying a bourbon. I won’t lie to admit the temptation was real for some glasses myself. However, I remembered how I used to wake up every morning and wondering what text messages I sent to whom while I was drunk the night before along with what other stuff I may have done. Therefore that urge to drink dissipated real fast . I can now add another successful night without drinking to my calendar , and I am looking forward for my new milestone. Have a nice everyone.
