Mostly I worry I dance like Elaine from Seinfeld. <br /><br />It never gets old to me to read how you're enjoying all the celebrations sober that used to be boozefests. You're sharing what most of us had to find out the hard way - that life was not only still fun but actually better sober. I enjoy seeing life through your sober sparkly-sequined eyes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-3938396760393612192013-07-30T04:13:42.030+12:002013-07-30T04:13:42.030+12:00Every time you do something new like this is a nai...Every time you do something new like this is a nail in the coffin of the hold booze had on you. I went to a family wedding only a few weeks out of rehab, I was so conscious of myself and that I wasn't drinking... now I go to these things and it is no issue and I don't worry about drinking at all.Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-56206827796891131312013-07-29T20:08:51.860+12:002013-07-29T20:08:51.860+12:00Oh Mrs. D.

I'm on day 44and still think drinking would make things more fun sometimes, but absolutely love being the designated driver, remembering everything that I said, heard, and felt.

It is the one thing I thought I'd lost when I stopped drinking. I thought, "I'll never dance again!" I couldn't imagine it. When I finally did, I was soooo happy. One drawback: I can't dance like a deranged sexpot anymore (Thank God!) I really did think I was sexy. No, really.October O Ninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10973881662297182818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921119446130836418.post-56362462931669709862013-07-29T08:52:45.963+12:002013-07-29T08:52:45.963+12:00I LOVE this!

I'm quite introverted, so going to a party never revs me up, and I used to drink just to survive social events. I never expected to have fun! My fun is being at home, gardening, cooking, writing, making things. And being sober has put so much more fun into that for me. This weekend I reupholstered a chair, and it looks totally amazing and I absolutely love it. First of all I had the confidence to try something new and challenging. I stayed up way late to work on it. I got up early and fresh Sunday morning to finish it. And I leaped around with my hands in the air when it was done. My own brand of party, I guess, just forgot the sequins! Party on!

I am learning this myself slowly but the social aspect is still something I struggle with, so reading posts like this - and slowly gaining positive experience of my own - gives me hope that one day I won't care either that I "can't" drink when faced with a party/wedding/whatnot. Carry on being fabulous.
