    AF since June 17th

    How is everyone today? I feel great and very proud of myself. As you can read I have been sober since the 17th of june. Yesterday we had the party for my 2y/o. Now normally
    I would have had more than enough booze to celebrate his milestone and woke up this am hungover and guilty cause my wife was mad at me again. But that didn't happen. I didn't drink and I only woke up tired, planning and hosting a bbq is hard ass work....lol....lots of our guests were drinking and it didn't bother me. Although when a few of my close friends noticed I wasn't drinking they gave me a weird look and seemed surprised. I have decided to not tell anyone about my problem yet, other than my wife of course. So tthat was a little akward..........but my big dilemma is all this let over beer in the house now, more than a 24. I can't just dump them as people did spend $ on it. Can I casually give it away and still not look suspicious to my friends?

    Hell ineedhelp,

    Congratulation on this milestone. It does feel great to wake up in the morning NOT hungover. I too have decided not formally tell friends that I have stopped drinking. I don't think I really owe and explanation to them. Sometimes I make up an excuse, sometimes I don't offer any, people lose interest after a while. As for the beer you should most defiantly get rid of it. Even if people did spend money on it, that is not more important than your sobriety. Say you don't have any more room in the fridge, or find a friend that barbecues frequently.

      CONGRATULATIONS ........ both on you AF time and for your 2 y/o party .....

      You should be really really proud of yourself .........

      I feel that you should definitely get rid of the stuff that is left though, you say that you cant dump them because of the $spent but would they know???

      At this stage in your sobriety you have to look after YOU!!!! .....

      Love & Hugs, BB xx

        Down the sink with it! It has to be done. I was in a bit of a spin the other night and what I call my drinkers brain recalled that there was an open bottle of Brandy sitting in an obscure cupboard in the kitchen. I couldn't settle, I had to get up, find it, and throw it down the sink.

        Get rid of it!!!! You owe it to you hard work!

            I don't like waste myself. I would give to a friend or neighbour. Failing that, leave it out for the Garbo on rubbish day. Some of them don't mind a drink after a tough day.

              Definately get rid of it in some way or other! I know I cannot trust myself with AL in the house.. you don't want any temptation, since you have been doing so well? I have been AF just 2 days less than you - well done us!!

                get rid of it...
                I also had a big celebration recently in which there was heaps of alchol left over...
                I gave away the cases of champagne,
                delegated out the bottles of wine to friends
                ... lots of different beers left over, but I absolutely hate beer so wasnt an issue... just a reserve for my husband, who has the occasional beer

                All the best

                  Deffo get rid of!! My daughters 21st was last year in May and the left over booze triggered quite a few horrible binges - funnily, there are still leftovers upstairs, but I KNOW now it holds absolutely no attraction for me, but if it did it would be down the sink!
